      Yep, dropped those bastards often enough to triple check that one. Thank goodness for small telescoping magnets.

        Rotor puller I made consisted of a 14 X 1.5 MM bolt welded to a piece of round stock. Put a piece of pipe or something to act as the slide hammer on the round stock and weld a stop on the end of the round stock to slamm the pipe against. screw it into the hole on the end of the rotor and steady the puller and give it a few slams and it will generally just pop off..cost less that 2 bucks for the bolt..PS..Get a hardened bolt so the threads will hold up!! check online pullers made for your bike and that will tell you the thread and the pitch.

        I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

          OUt of curiosity, is your noise more of a knock, or more of a tick? And does it do it just at idle, or does it show up when giving it gas under a load...as in taking off down the road?

            Found that knock on idle was starter clutch.Pull it off and check before all the bolts are broken and are then tough to extract
