Does anyone have the generator rotor tool to suit my 1000 A that I could borrow please?

Ever the resourceful type I made a slide Hammer out of the swing arm spindle however screwing it in tight and LIGHTLY taping with a hammer whilst pulling will remove it . Make sure the bike is facing North/South

dont forget to remove the battery earth too! or this could happen

front wheel spindle fits, also the bolt that holds the top yoke down will fit, hold the rotor with a chain and rachet that used to remove oil filters from cars can be done in minutes this way just keep tightening the bolt and it will pop off if you can borrow mine if you do not have the tools to this job or i can come over to your house

I use a nylon tie-down strap to hold rotor so it don't get damaged

I use a rag underneath the chain so there

I used an old duvet (13 tog) under the "soft & gentle" nylon straps

Boys Boys if you wait long enough the feckin thing falls of anyway

Thanks for the replies fellas but getting it off should be no prob. (I hope)

It`s the tightening up job I need the holder for.


Thankfully the club have one

sprag the starter clutch intermediate gear with a piece of aluminium comes to mind, I think that's what I did on the Mk2 engine and it's 110 ft lbs ish Then I made a proper tool for it

or you could wrap some thin ally sheet around it and grab it wiv 24 inch stilsons
