stealthy engine stop
I purchased a Stealthy flywheel weight and they recommended one of their engine stop tools at about $10 it seemed reasonable to buy. DO NOT BUY THIS ITEM! I screwed it into the spark plug hole and proceeded to tighten the flywheel weight at 20 to 25 ft/lbs the stop snapped. I spent 3 hours with a dental mirror and a grab it tool to remove it from cylinder, because I did not have another head gasket. Save the money use your kid to hold the brake down this works great.
The flywheel weight it another different issue.

You may discover while the flywheel weight works for smoothing the power, it hurts the turning, taking my 1lb weight off made the bike feel like it lost 15lbs from the front axle when turning.
Giver a try.
The reason the plug stopped snapped was likely due to the 500 angled plug, on my 250 it's straight up and down and has worked fine.

Hey, defective parts happen. The real question is will they replace/refund?
And the angled plug may very well have something to do with the tool failure.

I won't ever use something in the cylinder that can force load like that on the piston skirt. If I'm stuck I'll throw a bar thru the rear sprocket and over the swing arm.

2st4ever is right, just buy a cheap arse rattle gun. There is no load imparted on any other part of the bike using a rattle gun, you hold the item you are undoing with a rag and hand pressure. Flywheels, countershaft sprocket bolts, clutch hubs, even swingarm pivot bolts, wouldn't even attempt them the old-fashioned way any more. Rattle . . . DONE !

steahly flywheel weight for SALE
JUST THOUGHT I WOULD MAKE ALL OF YOU NORTHERNS JEALOUS. I rode the last 3 evenings after work The temperature was in the high 60s to mid 70s. Now on to the real reason for the post. The "other web site" led me to believe the Steahly weight is a must have, pure shit! The bike is indeed slower,but NOT EASIER TO HANDLE. Texas dirt is real sticky when wet or damp, without the weight wheelies were common now it is like an old tired 250 .I hope someone from the other site will also be stupid and buy it.

I'd like to see this thread where you were led to believe the FWW is the way to roll.
rattle gun to take it off, torque wrench to put it on.
Hard to be jeoulous of 110+ weather, droughts and dirt cracked so deep you can see CHINA
