Worked on the CVT a bit today and took a few pics.
First, this is a Motion Pro cluch holding tool from motorcycle-superstore.com. modified by me and my dremel. I had to grind the round pegs slightly smaller to fit the variator holes just right. You see me inserting a piece of old angle iron up under the air box and forward up against a frame member. (http://i893.photobucket.com/albums/ac134/Hepafilter_2010/100_0286.jpg)
Here it is with the holding tool rotated into the angle iron with my half inch breaker bar ready to break the nut loose. (http://i893.photobucket.com/albums/ac134/Hepafilter_2010/100_0288.jpg)
Next, I turn the tool over. I had to cut about an inch off the tangs that go in the clutch and cut notches in it to grab the clutch bell. (http://i893.photobucket.com/albums/ac134/Hepafilter_2010/100_0284.jpg)(http://i893.photobucket.com/albums/ac134/Hepafilter_2010/100_0281.jpg)
Lastly, the corner of my deck railing makes a good workbench. :D(http://i893.photobucket.com/albums/ac134/Hepafilter_2010/100_0278.jpg)(http://i893.photobucket.com/albums/ac134/Hepafilter_2010/100_0280.jpg)

It is not a problem to fix mechanical things (especially scoots). Problem arises if you do not have proper tools, or a garage.
For many of us that live in apartments and urban areas, there is no other choice but to visit the mechanic for most repairs. :(

Love the work bench, innovative. Adapt, adopt & improve, a large cheap tarp and sheet of 3/4" plywood to protect carpet can and has converted first floor apartments into suitable work space.
