Haha, well I wasn't going to say anything, but seeing as you mentioned credits, check post #10...

I guess if I pointed my finger at enough things, then I would be correct on at least one! There's method in my madness!

Anyway, the important thing is you've found the problem...I hope your dealer/GasGas will be paying for the flywheel puller!

Hope you're able to get out and enjoy your new bike very soon, it's a real shame you've had this problem, you've been very unlucky. But...look on the bright side...I guess you've learn't a lot about your engine!
