I was giving my newly acquired 470 an inspection prior to regularly riding it. I found several small issues that needed some attention,nothing major until I pulled the flywheel off. The magnets are beginning to migrate out of the hub itself. They are stil in their original positions, but they are loose. The epoxy or whatever they are cased in is deteriorating significantly. However, they are all in there and none are cracked. The bike still starts easily and runs, but the flywheel could fail soon. The stator itself appears to be undamaged. I am considering trying to refurbish this flywheel due to the difficulty and cost of finding a replacement. I have attached some pics that I hope show the condition. Has anyone out there ever dealt with a situation like this? Any help or inspiration would be greatly appreciated.
