I blew the stator and decided to do the repair on my own. Mechanical trade.
Anyway got the stator and regulator installed. Rotor looked good.
Now i got a nasty vibration.
Went over it 3 times and no change.
Please help 😭
if you used air impact tools, you may have knocked the magnets off the rotor.
not only unbalancing the rotor but the magnets usually destroy the stator when they come off.
Something in your Compensator setup is probably not right... like it's frozen.
I wish I could help more than that.

i have a washer (thin) before rotor,then rotor,2 washers,gear,then the dome looking thing that matches the patern in gear,compinsater,washer and nut 150 ponds of tork,chain looks even.

checked magnets all in good shap. used a 38mm socket and breaker bar,
i also put a rubber sanding block in gear to break bolt.
had it apart 3 times,theres somthing im missing.
Rore open bike again today
Big thrust washer behind rotor 2 washers back on top of rotor there where 3 in there when it came apart.
Put it all back and still have a nasty vibration.
Please any ideas
the comp sprocket is shown under belts w/ chains and sprockets
rotor under electrical alternator
if this turns into a "thing", you could maybe use an impact or hammer drill to spin the motor over and start it with the primary disconnected....that way you'd know if the fault is in the motor/stator or the primary drive and clutch basket

Ty for the diagrams.
Just like they show i did it correctly.
At idol vib is not noticed.
When i engage and bring on the tork she vibrates.
When the bike was running it was smooth just drop volts to zero.
This vibe was not present.
Somthing i feel is not right with compinsator,but im lost.
Thank you for all your help.
Time to bring it to my mechanic and admit defeat 😭
