Anyone know where to purchase a decent flywheel puller for the KLR 650?? Steve Pye A7

[Jaime Pertuz]

Hello listers, Anyone out there sagacious enough to know the bolt dia. and thread pitch for a 93(A7)KLR? flywheel puller? --- 21mm?, 22mm?? 1.5?, 1.25?, 2.5 ??? I live in St. Paul MN, which is about an hour (1way) from Dennis Kirk. I drove up there and bought a Motion Pro puller that indicates is fits the KLR 650 (20mm x 1.5) which it does not. How can Motion Pro and/or Dennis Kirk have this misinformation?? I could order the Kawi puller, but it'll take 2-3wks. Again, I live in Minnesota and the riding season is gonna be ending soon. I've spent the whole fkn' summer workin on that bike. I haven't riden all year. Am I wrong or does it seem Kawasaki does everthing it can to discourage owner performed maintenance by deliberately employing obscure fkn' tools and components you can only get from them? The aftermarket scene is much better for Honda. I love the KLR, but because of this crap, I'm starting to wish I bought an XL. Please help, Jaime in MN.

Does any one have a flywheel puller they would like to sell that would fit an A1. Fred doesn't have them in right now and he'll be gone this week and I would like to get going on it. Thanks Timan

I'm trying to get into my KLR650 motor to change out the balancer sprockets. It's not clear what puller I need to get for the flywheel. I ordered one from DK and it's too small. Chaparral lists two diferent ones, one for $7 and one for $8 (same brand). Anyone know what works? It appears to be 24mm x 1.5mm thread. -Rick

I ordered the flywheel puller and wrench from Fred. I pulled the right side cover and an ready to us them to do my Pre-96 upgrade. The puller is just a large bolt. My question is, Can I use it alone or do I need to buy a puller to screw it into. If I do any does or don'ts on what to buy. Bill "SandShark" 92 KLR-650 A6 Central Florida

Yeah, simple looking isn't it, no need for anything additional. After you remove the nut from the flywheel, you just run the puller in and it pushs the the wheel off the shaft. Watch the key when the flywheel comes off, don't want to lose that. Brad

...is a GO. Ultimate destination is Florida (for those who don't already know). Leaving tomorrow around 7AM and heading out I-10. Planning to reach Phoenix Monday night. Hopefully on Tuesday I'll get together with one or more people (Steve?) and check out some of the local trails. Anybody between Phoenix and Florida who wants to get together and ride, leave me a message at 949-636-3138. Even if it's only to share a beer and discuss tires, oil level, and tensioner doohickies. RM PS. Call me dammit! I'll re-route (a little) to meet up for a ride. This especially goes for anyone in North Florida. I wanna ride my KLR up and down the beach in Daytona at 10mph while helmet-less and barefoot. Because I can. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
