their motorcycle, and then it will leave some problems or quality issues for the motorcycle
accessories even after repaired and affect the service life.
Here we will discuss about some problem which is easy to be ignored in the process of
motorcycle maintenance, like circuit, oil, gas or mechanical parts.
For a 125 type motorcycle, driving more than 43000 kilometers, after the stator component
was changed for the magneto fault and then electric start cant work while the pedal start is
normal. Then, repairman will check both static and dynamic of battery voltage, which turns to
be normal, overrunning clutch, start circuit and relay are also normal, then check
the starter circuit, carbon brush and so on, they are all normal. Remove the spark plug, put it
on the high-pressure damping cap and do electric start check, the spark is dark red, and after
changing a spark plug, electric start is still not working. Then you need to replace the stator coil,
and remove the ventilation cover, check the trigger gap between flywheel and trigger pole,
there are unexpectedly about 2.0 mm. Realigns the trigger to standard 0.50 mm, reinstall the
parts, then electric start can work successful now.
Another 125 scooter, due to loss of excitation with the magneto flywheel rotor, vehicle cannot
be started even after replacing new parts. After several check, the problem turns to be the
flywheel rotor wall, whose diameter is too large and exceeds the specified value between the
stator cylindrical. Replace the magneto flywheel, check the gap between stator cylinder and
the flywheel rotor wall, make sure it is less than 0.50 mm, assemble the dismantled parts, start
the engine, then the failure is solved.
You can be seen from the examples above, repairman didnt adjust the trigger gap according
to the rule when changing the stator component, the ignition trigger gap will be too large. When
applying the pedal start, because recoil inertia is big, it can barely achieve start speed; and
when electric start, because starter speed is relatively low, the large gap will reduce the pulse
signal, the spark is not strong enough to start. And the other motorcycle cant be started
because the air gap is too big between cylindrical stator and the flywheel rotor magnetic
cylinder wall, which will seriously affect the ignition performance of magneto.
