New owner rotor question

(1/3) > >>

albuquerqueturkey:
Hello, have just posted in the intro section...new 2008 fz1 owner, been reading up lots about them and wondered what the general consensus was regarding replacing the generator rotor with the updated version as a preventive measure? I note that the magnets coming off does happen although it seems relatively rare.


Also, if i was to replace it is there an opinion on the cheaper RM stator version which is about £220?


Cheers

Just got an 09 FZ1N and its the first thing I did, I got mine from Rexs speed shop same sort of price but I also got a gaskit but they sent the wrong one. Very good service but I cant be bothered with the agro of sending the wrongly supplied gaskit back.

Funnily enough i ordered mine from the same place on Monday, hopefully will get it tomorrow and put it on...got the gasket from wemoto! I notice westcountry windings are also selling the same rotor for a similar price.

Funny enough i got word from the US forum that from year 2008 the rotor is upgraded and need not to be changed.??

I have  a 2007 model and just taken mine off to check and I have the original one in, was hoping the previous owner had changed it but no luck. It looks perfectly fine but not sure if I want to risk putting it back in for the sake of a couple of hundred quid. I think I'll be ordering a new one but I'm not paying Yamaha prices of over £600  :eek . I'm going to go with the cheaper one at £220.
