Motorcycle Repair: suzuki sv 650, suzuki sv 650, suzuki sv650
QuestionI changed the electrical generator in my suzuki sv650 2001 yaer model, when I opened it up ther is an epoxy ring around the metal area surrounding the generator. Pieces had broken loose so I put new epoxy to repair it. It's been a year now, but I'm afraid the same things happening again. What purpose does the epoxy serve, electrically, do I have to replace it again, or can I just remove it all together, or will that affect the electricity generated?
AnswerMaxwell, I have worked on a few sv650,s but not had a stator out of one. Its possible that this is an insulating componant thats breaking down. Some units on the market glue the magnets in the flywheel and the glue starts to breakdown you have to replace the flywheel as its not recommended to reglue them in place. Sorry it may be time to replace the part.
