Clutch puller for Sidewinder

[jonlafon1]

What puller do I need?
I have this one from my Cat 7000 which had the Yamaha 1050 triple.

They list the 998 triple Yamaha for a model it will work for. Just looking for confirmation from guys on here.
Thanks

its a regular yamaha clutch puller...you will find them cheaper looking that way than that country cat

I've always had great luck using the EPI brand clutch pullers on my Yamaha sleds. They are top quality.

Here's a link to their website for the correct puller that you'll need for your new 'Winder:

So, will cat puller work on the yamaha sidewinder or not? Need to know cause I have the cat one already .

I see no reason it would not. If you click the link above it lists the Yamaha 998 as compatible. I have always used CAT pullers and believe them to be very good pullers. I was posting to confirm if it would work. ?? So im not 100% sure about 99%. It will work on the thundercat(but that's a cat clutch). I also have the puller listed above in the link

Anyone 100% sure? Hate to waste money if you don't have to .

In 2012 I got a Cat turbo, 2016 a Viper. The clutch pullers look NOTHING alike. Make sure you get the RIGHT one for your machine.

cat puller is for a cat..where do you get it working on a yamaha.....? the only possibility is maybe cat will use a yamaha puller since its a yamaha crank hub..who know...who cares...

get a yamaha puller..same as nytro or apex....besides they are cheaper since theyve been around so long...

Ok, will do. It does make sense that the cat puller won't work . Thanks for the info .

I care if my puller I HAVE will work and why buy another one that collects dust along with the 5 others I have.
My post is about if anyone knows the listed puller will work ?

Did you ever find out if the cat puller will work on the sidewinder? I also have the cat puller and no need to spend more money if you dont have to. Thanks

Nope went and bought one. Did not want to take any chances. I actually found one pretty cheap on eBay. The same puller in the link listed in this thread. blackfootmotorsports Is where I got mine.
