Over the last few weeks, in between work done around the house (I can’t work on motorbikes ALL the time!) I have managed to get the wheels on and aligned with two long, straight edges, footrest assemblies and other bits and bobs (Photo 1).
I now turn my attention to the complete electrical system and I have set up some temporary tables to give me some room to do this properly. Every item will be assessed and repaired as needed, to make sure I will have no problems in the future.
Generator
I removed the old cable sheath and plastic connector; there was no visual damage, so then I did a multimeter check and Insulation test using a Megger on the whole assembly. All was good. I was concerned that the crash-damaged cover was an indication that the generator had received a big enough knock to severely damage it, so I was pleased at the result. I replaced. It can be seen that even a perfectly good resistance test result (0.1 Ohm) can hide some nasties; compare the difference between the good one on the left and the old corroded one on the right.
