Chizel's Lockdown 749 Rebuild Thread

I don’t need them 🤷‍♂️ And I only get just under £700 a month wages 😮 and far far from drawing a pension ☹️ My bike will be finished before that happens! See, you are wadded in comparison - now get them £5’s in pronto 🥳 but you can prop up the meanies with £50 👀

You need to reduce that to £520 pm. Just saying. 😉😇

The air gap maybe different but here is the process

If the engines are the same year it will be the same. AFAIK the air gap is not that precious ie it doesn't need to be precisely x thou, it can be i that. The important thing is that there's clearance as the stator rotates so it doesn't foul the CPS face but not so much clearance the magnet, as it passes, is too far away to trigger the CPS.

Never had to change one on the Ducati but on the triumph I had
if you got the gap slightly too large it would run but not rev out
if you got it slightly closer than spec you got a few extra rpm’s
it was difficult to set with normal feeler gauge, due to it sticking to the magnet
I ended up using some home made plastic (bodged) ones 😁
 
The device is a hall effect and would be quite critical to distance to create the right shape wave for the software to cut / read.
This would be especially true at higher data rates.
As WCP said.... it mustn't hit.
 
So anyhu, finally got around to doing a bit more on this bike..
Lots of going backwards to go forward..
When moving it from my bros to my new place, it had no front end on ( still don't!) So I took the oil cooler off to make things easier .
So the oil cooler didn't get damage but the horizontal head cover that the cooler mounts to did...

After thinking for a few weeks about getting it welded, I remembered I had the Ole engine still! So I took that on off....
Then had to strip and paint it..
Had to remove the water pump to fit the cps as ya can't do that with the pump on and I hadn't..
Done that that is..
Over the last few days if done that stuff , flitted the cooler ( had to get new o rings for the oil lines as the fell apart when I ruled grease on em so I guess they were fucked) I fitted the rear sets, rear hugger a new clutch slave that I found in a box ( saves cleaning the old one ) and started fitting the loom..

The battery box on these bikes is a Guinness..
And I had it in and out 4 times!!! 4 fucken times!!!!!
One of the rad hose clips was obstructing it so had to turn thet around.. forgot to route the earth And couldn't do it after, forgot to put thre heat shield back on it!!! And forgot to connect a plug behind the heat shield!!!!
Arrrrggghhhhh!!!!!
It's got exact start cables and the earth is a Guinness to fit due to the crash bung mount so had to take that off and put back a few time before that got sorted..
Also have lost all the close ups of the wiring I took I stripped her down which would have made life alot fucken easier!
The workshop manual is good but takes a lot more thinking than I like to put in.
Anyhu I've got me melon about 80% around it ( no doubt I'll find something the will necessitate pulling the bike back apart!
Next up will be airbox and throttle bodies, air tunes n stuff..
Still need a steering stem nut and some forks! @Exige?
