You are correct that a three phase alternator can be hooked up in whatever order you want. If it were a three phase motor the order would determine the direction of rotation.
Wow, this is bringing back some memories, I used to race one of these in the New Era super club and bemse power bike series. It used to suffer with a lack of rear grip and I ended up getting a really trick headstock and swingarm mod done by Spondon engineering. I had a one off ram air box fitted too and it was quick, but was always a handful. I had some great results, but it hurt me too. Then I moved on to super stock bikes and had an 02 R1, but then the GSXR K3 came along and blew everything away lol. The original R1 is so nice and easy to work on though. Great channel btw, you deserve more subs.
I asked Andy about this, seems the whole lock set was replaced as the ignition barrel wasn't very good. I hadn't realised when I shot the vid. It is possible with most fuel caps to be able to remove the lock levers so any key will fit
Yes, it can. It does tend to be a bit awkward though as it'd require a different lever or an extra mechanism. BMW actually put two pivot points on their s1000rr lever so swapping is really easy
@@alexma995 If the levers are particularly grungy, use some fine wet or dry paper (used wet) - before finishing to a gorgeous deep shine with Peek polish 👍
Always use barrel crimps rather than solder. Solder is too hard, inflexible and adds heat to the parent wire and is a source of corrosion in some cases due to the flux and breakages due to the heat introduced

I have a 2000 model but good to watch ... subbed

Thanks! I think the engine was a bit beyond the tyres (and chassis) at the time.
And I love reminiscing about old races... the injuries less so, lol
@@obsession_engineering lol everyone gets sick of my race stories! I had a good 12 years of it though.
oooh wiggly amps .......lol. its getting there! cheers.
Good progress Dave! Didn't realise the original ignition key would fit the new tank cap. Is that the case across most bikes of that era?

@@obsession_engineering Ah, interesting...
Long shots sponsored by the lip reading society 😂 good job liking the new project.
I know, I need to sort a mike!!
Great video stay safe 🇬🇧👍
Starting to look the part
How did you get the fuel cap with same lock as the bike?
Turns out Andy had replaced all the locks, I just didn't realise when I shit the vid that they were all a new set
Always great content Dave & with humour to boot! Can the race pattern happen at the lever end if it can’t be done at the gearbox link end?
Yes, it can. It does tend to be a bit awkward though as it'd require a different lever or an extra mechanism. BMW actually put two pivot points on their s1000rr lever so swapping is really easy
As always cool project. Doo you use some sand paper to polish aluminium details? I hawe to polish aluminium levers on my motorcycle🤨🤓😆
I usually just use Peek or Maguire's metal polish and some elbow grease
@@obsession_engineering thank you for the answer. I will order some products that you recommend.

Have a look at the exup valve?
Andy had already serviced it. He saved me lots of work!
Hi bro y have a error .0 to 7000 rotation in bord and the r1 no speed what îs the problem ?
