Removing LHS cover on electric start

**Geoff van de Merwe** · #1 29 Oct 2003

I need to remove my alternator coil from my bike for rewiring.
My Clymer manual only shows removal for the kickstart model.
The problem is that on the electric start model, the side cover seems to include part of the starter motor cover.
When I take this cover off, what can I expect to come off with it. Are there lots of splines/springs etc. which might fallout from the starter side cover? If so, can anyone please tell me the correct procedure for removing it?

Thanks
Geoff

dismounting the side cover is simple, but to dismount the stator is very hard sometimes, screws (ph-type) are extremly tight. use push-screwdriver.

Hi Geoff,

My electrical nightmare follows apace. Looks like I might be following you down this route. I'd be interested in anything you find out.

Cheers George
