Probably. bugger. Not many GPZs or ER5s breaking on ebay, I see a lot of phone calls in my future tomorrow.

Part number for stator is same. Part number for rotor is 21050-1171 (GPZ), 21050-1172 (ER5). So probably some minor change like 1 degree difference in the taper for the crank that is unnoticeable until you start it and it explodes.

Gpz 500 ficheHere

Er-5 one Here, best I can do Chris look much the same,but it's a big time gap.

Cheers Mark.

Yeah they look close enough, worth a punt considering I can't find a GPZ flywheel. Will ring round breakers tomorrow.

There's that much swarf and crap in there I don't want to run it until I've flushed the oil and stuck a new filter on. God knows what havoc it's wreaked with the starter clutch, that bolt in with the wreckage is one of only 3 holding the sprag clutch to the flywheel.

Whoops, didn't give you any signs then I take it ?

No just made 3 wierd clicks which I thought were the fairing rattling, that was it just 3 clicks. Obviously the clicks were the alternators death. That was about 15 miles from home and it was fine then until we went to leave dizzys and it wouldn't start.

I had actually checked the charging voltage last night and they were fine.

Though it did feel to vibrate a fair bit, bearing in mind I've only ridden this bike 20 miles total.

Oh well, it's only a machine mate, anything can be fixed it's just whether it's worth it or not, did you sort transport for tomorrow (or today even)?

You rang DK spares? They got me one when i needed it only one in the country and a new one was going to cost 180 quid with an 8 week delivery time. Worth a try they seemed to have most things
