I guess if you can be fairly sure which, it takes us down different paths.
I guess realistically I am not to sure Andy.
I took the air filter out as it was like it was restricted on breathing?
An other thing I will say is that the bike had been to a garage, and due to lack of knowledge they bent the stator fly wheel?
This rubbed off the protective coating of the stator itself, causing a short when the flywheel touched....
I will start at the beginning.....
I was rang by J and S at doncaster as the owner had tried to take this bike was taken in as a part exchange.
Doncaster motorcycles had changed the sprag, but the cam chain tensioners were not filling up with oil?
They had also charged for an oil change and a new oil filter.
I drained the oil, but on checking the filter the date had been scratched on the side?
The date was two years old? I informed the owner of this....
Oil and filter was changed, and the correct amount of oil was added to the tank.
The bike started, and the cam chain tensioners filled with oil.
DMS had not put enough oil in the engine....
The bike ran but stopped?
I was puzzled why. I checked everything electrically, and decided to check out the stator and sprag, due to the work they had completed.
It looked like DMS had tried to remove the stator flywheel by hammering a pry bar down the back?
This bent the fly wheel, and rubbed off the protective coating on the stator. This had caused the short, and stopped the engine from running.
The owner was shown pictures to the extent of the damage?
He decided that because he wanted to sell the bike on, against my better judgement I fitted a straight stator flywheel, but not a new stator.
The bike ran ok, and started almost immediately.
I informed the owner that the work had been completed, but needed his permission to take the bike out for a test ride?
Then the problem then came to light.
We need a wall of shame advising our members of poor workmanship and who to avoid In my opinion......
I have a friend in Doncaster, and contacted her in regards to Dms.
She is training as a motorcycle mechanic, and had been working on an ER5?
This had been to Dms, and they had charged for work including a service, chains and sprockets.
The bill came to nearly 800 quid????????
Paula had to go through the bike, and jobs that had been charged for had not been completed by Dms....
They seriously fooked the tuono up!!
