Anyone got a flywheel tool?

[tri boy]

If your not having any luck with getting the tool, PM me and I can courier one of mine to you.

[Richard Mc F]

I have one, a bit battered, let me know if you want to borrow it, I live in Onehunga

Argh, stop it you two, it's like lending out a 12mm socket, its not like he won't need it again.

EGAD!

There is a two smoker in my drive, obstructing my gargre!

EEP!

There is a rabid gent of questionable and quite possibly asian descent in my kitchen, grinning like a complete (and qualified) maniac!

Whatever shall I do?

GADZOOKS!

I seem to be missing a home baked blueberry muffin and several pints of Raro!

Oh dear god, I think he may be moving in!

...who woulda thunk it?

One borrowed tool, 5 minutes and it's all done!

Thank heavens for borrowed tools!

[zeocen]

Who is this crazy asian peeping through my window when I have no pants on .. the nerve.

I thought I heard a bike pull up, but no one around here but me has one! So I just assumed it was a fast idling car, but nope, in arises a ninja biker to steal my Dr Pepper !




...back to Letterman.

Righto, rode over to chez Richard McF and picked up his handy-dandy flywheel removing tool. Had a damn good yak about his most excellent Ducati and the intricacies of restoring its charms back to torment modern sprotsbike riders on the Coro

Plenty of sound advice he gave me about these here two-stroker smokers!

But enough, when I got back home - sleeves rolled up and into the guts we go again!

This time, Daisy yielded her charms to the right tool (borrowed, along with a 12mm socket) And quick as you can please, it was off in five minutes. The coil was shagged and fortunately, I had a spare (I'm restoring two other RZs also at the moment! )

Whipped it on, tested it for spark ... and wouldn't ya know it, the lovely little tic tic and blue flash of ignition.

Ignition demons = detonation fairies working = some important bits moving!



Gave Donor a call and he heard Daisy belching fumes and making a racket!

By this stage, I started to put all the bits n'bobs back onto Daisy and test rode her. Hmm handling is right off. And how come I can't change past 1st gear!? Oh, poop, put the gear lever on the wrong angle Scooted back into the pit shop and did a final readjustment. Had to fill tyres with air again (7psi on front, 11psi on rear mys bad), bunged in some petrol (15.3 litres worth, $25 sheer robbery!)

Rode to Donors and Zeocen and taunted them both mercilessly. Ah, good times! Then took Daisy out onto the moronway and did a loop from Takas to the City and back home again. Blardy windy. Blardy awesome to be back on the two-stroking charms of Daisy.

It's been too long girl. Don't scare me like that again! Now, we gotta see to your sisters!

PS - Richard being the scholar and gentleman he is, has allowed me to purloin the use of his flywheel stator extraction tool for an indefinite period. He reckons I'm the first to use it in 15 years! I guess I owe him a ride on Daisy/Dandi/Daphne whenever he feels like it!

Pic 1 : The tool is on.
Pic 2 : The deed is done. Just like that.
Pic 3 : A picture of the wires, just to remind me what goes where.
Pic 4 : The wire coiling through a hole and up to where pic 3 is.
Pic 5 : One shagged STATOR, yeah baby yeah!
Pic 6 : The two STATORs side by side, spot the difference!

[gijoe1313]

Well, I can't believe Daisy has been off the road for as long as she has (a month and a half? longer?) three days or so of half-arsed work and shes riding better than ever!

Thanks to Ixion and Richard McF for their assistance and expertise, Tri Boy for the offer of his tool. Thats the spirit of biking I enjoy, helping others constructively and lending a hand. As soon as the carport is cleared, I'll be putting the Spanner nights back on again! Learning about these two-strokers is fun and I can't wait to get the other two RZs back on the road and racing them on the track!

I can only spot one flywheel & it is in the first picture.

Only person I'd trust to rewind the stator is

Aye 'tis a badly scorched and better looking STATOR winding i do believe......well done Justin good to hear it all went well...........2 strokes rule

[gijoe1313]

Righto, off to the STATOR winding repair man it shall go! Been giving Daisy a rough slapping over these last couple of days ... in the rain and out at night, up and down roads and twisty bits, revving her hard out and slapping her hard ...

She seems to like it and keeps begging for more! Right.. time to start on Daphne and Dandi...
