Have removed the engine from the bike and started stripping it down, top end looks great (bike has 101 hours), but have realised I need a flywheel puller to continue my inspection of the bottom end.
Does anybody have one?
This flywheel bolt was a right hand thread, I believe its a 27mm x 1mm RH puller I need?
Has anybody had their bottom end fail?
Absolutely shattered its failed on me 
From my readings there is one particular bearing on the ignition/flywheel side that has a plastic cage? Known failure point? |
Did you look for lose countersunk M6 bolts in the crankcase? That happened to my 2015 EC200 right before Christmas.

I will pop over to the wokshop and have a look at my extractor in an hour or three and report back. I presume its the same on 2015 and 2018.
Do you have the worksop manual? If not, I can send it to you as a pdf.
