You can get a tool that threads into the spark plug hole that lock's the engine at or just below t.d.c. pretty cheap or just hold the flywheel (opposite side) to be able to use some leverage on it.

A strap wrench or thread a piece of 1/4" rope into the spark plug hole so the piston tops out on it.
Some people just put a socket and ratchet on the bolt and smack the ratchet handle with a hammer to imitate a impact wrench.
But that's not recommended.

It's out! Only took a breaker bar, a socket and a 5 pound sledgehammer. And me falling down on the bike, knocking it over, spilling half a tank of gas on my garage floor and cutting my chin on the heat shield. I love auto work!
Got a puller already so it's downhill from here.

And I'm in business. Fired right up and idles nice and smooth. I've already ordered a 50 tooth sprocket and will be ordering a belt drive soon.

Success!? Lol. I was going to recommend the rope down the plug hole. That's an old chainsaw trick.

The new clutch works like a dream... at least it did until the transfer case blew out and left me without a functioning transmission. Now I'm waiting for a new dual chain transmission my brother ordered for me.
Here's hoping that one holds longer.
