Honda NTV650 Revere Part 5 - Removing The Flywheel

Alternate title would have been "wrestling with the flywheel" but with a little patience off it came. I have a set of universal flywheel pullers which I use as much as I can however there are pullers made specifically for this bike. Which you use is up to you of course but you will need a tool to remove it, they rarely come off easily.

Hey mate I know this is a long shot but I'm having a problem with my cb125e and I'm wondering if I can have some way contact you so I can get your thoughts on it before I take it to a mechanic and pay them too much money to diagnose it( just because you're basically the guy who knows everything about those bikes)

[@highoctanecommuting3862]

yep, it is a long shot. What is the patients symptoms? Its an engine problem I'm assuming?? Also where are you located?

[@electronicfreak1111]

@highoctanecommuting3862 I'm located on the Central Coast, basically it's rattling as the engine goes pretty much anywhere above idle it used to only happen at high RPM but it's gotten worse, I checked the valve clearances & adjusted them as the previous owner didn't do any maintenance not even a oil change for 15000 km( assuming that's accurate) although I'm not too sure if I did valve clearance is correctly as I don't have experience with engines and I don't have that tool so it was a bit hard doing it but when I did the valve clearances the first time it was running perfectly fine but then the rattling slowly came back came back and I did it again but nothing change to when I did it the second time.
The clutch isn't slipping or anything like that so I don't think it's the clutch I'm thinking it's somewhere in the transmission hopefully not the cylinder head because that's very expensive.
That's basically The Rundown of it I know it's a bit hard to really say anything for sure when you're not there, I talked to a motorcycle mechanic but for them to take it apart and everything and figure out what's wrong & would be quite expensive and I'm trying to go through all of the different options.
Thoughts?( also it's at 17000 km now)
Also thank you especially if you can help me at all with this!

Very interesting. My thoughts? If the valve clearances are correct then rattles are not likely to be the sound of good news. I don't believe UA-cam has any private messaging features. Any suggestions how we can continue the conversation privately? I lurk on CB125E Owners Australia on FB if that helps.
