I recently bought a used berg. It's a 2002 fs650 supermoto.
All seemed fine, rode for 60-70 miles and all of a sudden it just died! No cough or splutter. Just cut out. I clutched in and rolled off the road.

I couldn't restart the bike, the starter motor still worked but wouldn't start it. (Never has).

I've had a general look round and there's nothing obvious? The bike has had all lights removed so wiring is a bit of a mess. But it was running fine. I have looked for the old diagrams I used to have but now all the links go to a husqvara page!

Any suggestions?
 
Died at 70 mph 2002 650

I took it all apart this morning. Can you take the stop out of circuit? Or does it work by being out of circuit.

I'm a mechanical engineer by trade and electrics are voodoo

I don't think it's the orange wire / kill switch. Just disconnected it and still nothing. I have charged the battery overnight so will give it a turn over and see if there's a spark.

Stator checked
Green - black 161
Red to black open circuit.

Guess it's my stator?

Been looking into this more.
I've dug out the IPC and the diagram clearly shows a gasket.

Mine didn't have one.......

It's now got me thinking though, what else could we do to seal these things properly and what else can be done to dry them out???

number 5 is an 'O' ring fella and we hold them. I hate them as they squidge out easily. I prefer to silicon the cover on, silicon the wire in the grommet, silicon the end of the conduit...everything!

taffy
 
Yeah I saw it was an oseal. What thickeness is it taffy? I have access to all sorts of gasket material n sealing compounds at work. Might have to experiment. Was thinking more a kind of rubber or goretex sheet may work better. I.e. Flatter Or use silicone aswell.

I'm also wondering if there is something you could put inside. Like a dryer or silica gel. Maybe even some sort of indicator that could be machined into the case cover where the plastic plug goes. I could even go as far as to seal it and try and inert it with nitrogen like a fridge system lol.

Another thought was to build up a bigger lip on both the inside and outside sealing faces. More surface area to seal?

Don't know if this is good Idea but a breather hose you could run high on frame looping down. When the bikes running and hot. any moisture would escape.
 
Could even put a tiny breather filter on.

I think trying to create a 100% dry, sealed unit would be a tall order. I don't think it could be practical as you would need some sort of pressure release as it would increase when hot.

I may just seal it up best I can. When the bikes in the garage remove the plug and put a dessicant sachet in. Keep it dry.

I just use builders clear silicon and smudge it everywhere
inside the top of the conduit
conduit to grommet
grommet to cover
cover to engine

check the conduit for holes and if rock hard already: try and source new stuff.

I drill a 5mm hole upwards underneath into the crankcases (not the cover).

the o ring is about 1mm but squidges out as the cover is the wrong design.
