Morning all, just got back from the Spanish GP, unfortunately on a plane!
Four of us left last Wednesday, through France hooning down those ace N and D roads D940,922 N157etc.
Having a right crack with the lads got to the bottom of the Pyrenees, wicked ride up for about 10 km then the heavens open.
my god never seen rain so heavy, got separated so couldn't stop, made it over the top and headed for Barcelona.
Barreling down the motorway at about 110ish she coughs, goughs again I think f....ing **** Spanish fuel.....(you know whats coming) just get to the turn off and she dies.
Click,click, bugger! as luck would have it hotel only a mile or so away, so the lads take the bag and lid and I push it. A cold one I
s waiting for me when I arrive along with the p..ss taking. Anyway in the morning off to the local scooter shop and managed to get the battery charged , back to the bike with the dreaded multimeter and yes you've guessed it..... fried stator !!
got the bike shipped to a garage for an estimate,, 750euros plus a weeks wait for parts! f..k that. After a two day wait (Spanish festival weekend) the garage finally contact Carol Nash European and give them the information of the repair. anyway I convinced them to fly me home and send the bike back on a truck(10 to 14 working days)Bugger!!
That should give me time to get all the information and parts to do the job. So I need to pick your collective brains, spoke to AP performance for prices ,Stator £ 145, reg/rec £88, plus a gasket. looked at electrex but didn't get good vibes from the posts I read. AP sounded positive that there's is the better one, anyone know if it's 500w or less (can't remember what he said) and the reg/rec is good. Just a couple of things about the job I am not sure of (I AM reading all the post I can find on the forums) do you need the special tool to remove the stator cover or will a little gentle tap with a rubber mallet loosen it (I know about the pull of the magnet). also the bolts that hold the stator to the cover inside I am not clear what the torque setting is and what number locktite to use 243 or 648 .Ihave downloaded the manual with the settings,, it's the wording I am getting confused with(old Git). I will figure out a way to waterproof the connectors, change them or maybe think about remounting the reg/rec somewhere else(any ideas) I am greatful of any replys (even the p..ss takes)! Hey we all got home in one piece that the important thing, Right. P.S. that ducati rear m/cylinder mod was fine no dramas it just worked.thanks guys
