I'm not planning on replacing the clutch release roller bearings as I can't get the lower 1 out.
I plan on ordering all new transmission snap rings
Anything I'm missing for the lower end rebuild?

I got the lower one out with a small blind hole bearing puller. I am just replacing a couple that were garbage.
Pmcg:
My smallest blind hole puller was ably to snag the top bearing but no chance on the lower. I'm thinking if it doesn't look bad and the clutch pulls ok I'm just going to leave it.
sandblaster:
I hear that some guys drill a small hole under the bearing and push it out from the bottom with a punch, then tig weld the hole.
Worth investigating.

What did you do with the motard motor?
sandblaster:
Still playing with it :lol:
For a stock engine it is really impressive thanks to Motorrad and a few others.
Can't wait to install my modded cylinder :-o
