Dangit! I just messed up and broke a finger follower. Are these replaceable and if so where can I get one? | ||

How its metal right? | ||

Yeah, the other names for it are cam follower and rocker arm. Got the part number as F0070.1AMB. Sigh. Problem is I have a week long ride planned for next week. Wonder if EBR might have one lying around that they would sell to me... | ||

Yes according to my parts book it's called a swing arm and that is the correct part # | ||

Concern I have is can a dealership order it and get it in within the week. Or will it be back ordered. | ||

Um...call a dealer and ask? | ||

Try an EBR dealer like Hal's in New Berlin, WI. I've been very lucky with them. | ||

not a single dealer in the US says they have one in stock... order one today from someone close and it should be there(well if you are back in the US??) or down bike it, pay a tone in shipping but have it usually next day. | ||

Question for the guys who have done their stators. I see that the camshaft/crankshaft locking tool is needed to do this. Looking at EBR's site the tool looks like nothing more than a screw driver. I have ordered it, but should it not arrive in time I wanted to know if I might be able to get away with using a Phillips head screw driver. Also, where would the locking tool go? Does it go in the head on the cam shaft of it is somewhere down in the crankshaft? | ||

I have no first hand experience, but I do recall threads from the guy that tried to improvise a tool, and had the tip shear off. The rebuild expenses were substantial. When it goes wrong, it goes really wrong. It is probably fairly straightforward to fabricate an effective tool for the job, but it would probably be necessary to put some significant thought and knowledge into it in order to reduce risk. | ||

Crank locking tool, cam locking tool not needed for stator replacement.... You need it to remove the rotor The crank locking tool is case hardened or something to make it very strong. it engages the crankshaft from under the engine. There is plug just like the oil drain plug in front of the oil strainer cover. It goes in there when engine is at TDC. I would def not try to fabricate something, others have been there, then wished they had not. | ||

Ryan - Another issue with "fabbing" something is the tool fits a notch, not a hole. So if it's not just right and held in by the threads, it will hop out. Todd's right tho, stator doesn't need the locker as it's on the cover. The hard part to that job is the wiring in the frame. The 3 wires run thru a long piece of sleeving. Remove the wires from the plug under the seat and pull, one at a time, out of the sleeve. When you pull the last one, tape a piece of bicycle derailleur cable(long enough to make a 2-3' loop) to the end of the wire. Then tape the new wires, again one at a time, to the loop and pull it thru. I've done it that way twice with no issues. Zack | ||

Ok, thanks for the replies on that. Just wondered if I could redneck something that would work. Now that I know the tool is hardened I will just wait till it gets here. EBR already shipped it 2 day so I expect it by tomorrow at the earliest and wed at the latest. Not like I have the parts I need to do the job right now anyways... Although, talked with a trusted dealer. The report was the parts I need are not showing backorder and I can overnight them right now. To bad the dealer was in CO. Local dealer is closed on monday the same with a trusted dealer in FL. Sigh... | ||

Got a question in regards to the cams themselves. To get the followers off, do I have to complete disassemble the cam shaft and remove the sprockets or does one side just slide off and I get get to the followers without disassembly? |
