This is an awesome idea! Really wish we would have tried that!
We managed to get some tools and got the flywheel off and back on again.
The bolt had fallen pretty far forward. It was further out from the bike than the doohicky spring itself is. Pretty much up against the flywheel cover itself...
Yes we have it off. We've tried a few ways of getting a magnet yet, but no luck so far. We may have sourced some tools, so I'll update!
Really want to thank everyone here for being so helpful. I hadn't known of this forum until stumbling on it trying to source these tools. I'm happy to see it...
We're not actually trying to do the doohicky. My friend was doing a valve adjustment and dropped a bolt down the cam chain hole.
We're going to order the tools, but we had also booked some time off work for a trip up north and were trying to save it before the weekend.
Thanks! That is a really nice thing to offer.

What this means is that since it screws into the flywheel clockwise (like normal threads) once it is locked in and you have the...
If you could find it, that would be awesome!
That's our current plan, to get that puller. The issue is that it seems you need the holder. There's some surface area where you could perhaps hold the flywheel with a crescent / adjustable wrench and I think this would work to get it off. But to put...
Any chance you are still active and in the area? A friend of mine had a mishap and dropped a bolt into the camchain while doing a valve job in prep for an upcoming ride this weekend which we've taken some time off work for.
If you're around and we could borrow the tool you'd be a real life saver!
Hi all,
Does anyone in Toronto have the KLR 650 flywheel puller / holder tools? I'm helping a friend with his bike - a bolt got dropped into the camchain tower and we need to retrieve it. Hopefully in time for a weekend ride.
Wondering if anyone in the city has one of these we could buy...
