Bob. all i do is leave the cover off after washing the bike.

I do that, but just wondered if there was anything else that I could do. I am going to take the rubbe rthing off tomorrow which seals the wires from the stator in and put some silicone on, I figure this will stop water from getting in behind the flywheel.

Atleast if it doe sit again then I will know where to look first.

Thanks,

bob

blow water out with the air gun?

Tony at <mention of this company is not permitted on Trials Central> had my bike when it wouldn't run, found the problem was the stator and had it done at WCW. In addition, he drilled a hole about 6mm dia. in the underside of the plastic cover, facing straight down, to act as a vent/drain and advised me to avoid using pressure washers.

I think water, or moisture was finding it's way in anyway. I've had the bike from new and when I removed the flywheel weight, I re-sealed the cover using silicon gasket, thinking it would be water tight. The next time I removed the cover, I found moisture on the inside. I think the idea is that the hole acts to ventilate the inside of the cover and reduce condensation. It's now been like it for over 6 months and touch wood, I've had no problems. Finally, although the bike does see wet and muddy conditions and the odd stream, I've never had the cover underwater.

Glad to her you finally got the problem sorted, bob. I know loads of people who've had problems with their stators although I'm now on my 4th Beta and none have ever missed a beat. Guess I'm just lucky.

It's an indication of how good the Rev3 is in all other areas that people are happy to put up with occasionally dodgy ignition and carburation problems (completely sorted for '06 I'm told).

If you want to vent a mag case 9and you do), put a hole in the rubber block where the wires are (hot phillips screwdriver) and run a piece of vent hose up to the steering neck.

Fluid dynamics tells us that if a sealed compartment is heated and rapidly cooled, you will get quite a vacuum.

Enough to easily suck water past gaskets, o-rings and/or various sealers.

And the air circulation will cut down on condensation.
