Hello to all, this is my first post so thanks to anyone who can find a moment to help me out here.
I've always hankered after a Busa and have just picked up a 2001 Right Hand Drive one over here in London (small joke).
I quickly diagnosed starter clutch issue which I've stripped down the fairings and casings, got the 14mm bolt off by putting in 5th gear with the back brake on which was fine. What isn't working is levering the old clutch off the splined rod- its stuck fast. I was thinking it could do with a puller on it but cant find any reference to a Busa Puller and the three holes arent threaded. I've tried knocking it loose very carefully but its just stuck on there. I'm tempted to put some heat on it but am worried about it catching fire- any clues would be very much appreciated!!
For ref I liked it so much I commuted into central London on it for a week which put some smiles on some faces!!
Thanks all.
Tim
