I decided today was good time to replace the generator rotor with the "high magnetism" one I bought a month or two ago.
It did NOT go well. And it's not finished.
I tried to "get away with something" by not removing the engine side cover, because, as you all know, the footpeg perch, kickstart lever, header pipe and muffler all have to be removed to get that cover off. I tried a workaround by just removing the rotor and leaving everything else intact. The issue came when I tried to fit the new rotor, and I stripped the retainer bolt and buggered up the threads in the end of the crankshaft. Oh. S**t.
Now I DO have to remove the engine cover.
Does anyone know what pitch thread chaser I need to buy to clean up the threads in the crankshaft? And, where I can get a new retainer bolt for the rotor?
I know better. Yes, I do....
