Spark Problem FS650 2001

Hi and Welcome

The flywheel loosing magnetic power can be a problem, in fact it will be a problem to all of us in the future. And I still don't know how to solve it, I've eared that there are companys the can can remagnetise them but just don't know where ????

You could try first to take your stator and CDI to your bikes friend and see if it works there.

pull the plug cap off Fabi and hold the lead near the head. say 5mm away and then kickstart. you may have a bad cap?

that stator reading is almost too good to be true! is it an original black SEM 'made in sweden' stator or is it one that you can see all the coils of wire on each post?

Hi Zaga,
remagnetization is not difficult, it just takes time to build the equipment to do it. Here's a very good description of making a remagnetization bench:

Alternatively, someone like these guys in the UK may be prepared to do the job:

There are likely to be many others on the web too...

I'd love to make something to do the job, but it's the usual story.

Good luck.

Cheers and regards... Paul

KTM flywheels run the other way and therefore the magnets are the wrong side of TDC. someone here "says" that he fitted a KTM flywheel and the bike worked great. so I really can't say for sure.

Hi Paul, good to ear from you

You first pointed out to this problem, and It will be a problem I think. Also Dr.C reported that with his flywheel he could not get the power he needed for his engine.

I think I will just send a mail to those guys to see what they have to say about it.

Hi

I've sent one mail, will see.

Hi

Received the answer to my mail, so here it is: :? :cry:

Hi

Thanks for your enquiry.

I am sorry to have to say that we cannot help with remagnetising these flywheels. The modern type of flywheel which uses several magnets around the periphery of the flywheel cannot be remagnetised using the normal two pole remagnetiser. A special pot magnetiser is needed which is very unique to the dimensions of the flywheel and relative positions of the magnets. They are not commercially available as far as I am aware so one would have to be made in house, Either way, it would not make commercial sense to buy or manufacture one. The remagnetising process takes just a few minutes so what could you sensibly charge for the job? You would have to do a huge number of flywheels in order to cover the cost of the equipment. And then the next flywheel would be for a different machine, different dimensions, different number of magnets......

On a more positive note, I've had a look at the website you mentioned and read your post. The voltages you are getting from your machine look pretty good to me. I would suggest that the flywheel is probably OK and the problem lies elsewhere.

Good luck and best regards

Good Fabrizio

Please keep us posted about this thing, its very interesting.
The puller you can buy it fast on ebay.
I think they will have lots of work.

I had called Steve and left a message as soon as the link was provided and he returned my call two days ago. He is 'sure' that the figures one of you here has supplied to him prove that the flywheels aren't losing any of their ability to work.

it's good that someone is going to prove the point though....

I'm not sure how sure Steve can be from this distance, but please continue your search, or give me the contact

My bike starts first time, even then I won't mind to improve my flywheel
