    just received the upgraded rotor from EBR and a new stator from Ricks. Has anyone found an alternative to purchasing the crank locking tool from EBR as well? I find it a little annoying that EBR is charging so much for replacement parts and tools needed to fix their issue!

    Not sure on the CR, but on my S I used a piece of aluminum that was 1"X1"x4"??. Others have used brass hinges with success.

    I didn't need a puller for mine but it also didn't slide right off like in the twin motorcycles video. There was some very hard and hard to see loctite that I had to actually get a small pick and dig it out of the threads. After I did that it slid off just like in the video.

    Also for the crank locking tool you might want to get ahold of the last poster on this thread. He has one available for rent.

    I was going to say exactly what bambam said. My rotor came of pretty easy and borrowed the tool from a guy on badweb.

    Not a hard repair at all.

    Pay close attention to the stator wires when putting in the new stator - read through this website: http://hildstrom.com/projects/buellstator/ he talks about some of the ribs on the cover that may need to be ground down to make sure the wires of the stator don't get pinched.

    I didnt need a puller either.

    I do have the tool I rent out occasionally if you don't want to buy one.

    You can also get it done with a heavy duty impact but the torque wont be precise.

    You're annoyed that a company charges for an upgraded part for an out of production, out of warranty, at least 6 year old, niche motorcycle?!

    You can't expect them to supply free parts forever even if some others have had he same issue.

    Pay the money, fix the bike, and ride the crap out of it.

    BTW a .50 cent short piece of aluminum bar stock does the job just fine. It's not brain surgery you just want to stop the gears from moving while removing and torquing the nut.
