Just checked my K5 with 20Kmiles and a couple of my magnets have moved, so going to get them all off and JB weld them on it place
I understand that heat applied to the outside of the rotor will soften the OE epxoy and allow the magnets to be removed
How much heat is required to get the magnets off?
Is it like 100°C (212°F) of or is it more like 250°c (482°F) which would result in the rotor steel starting to discolour?
In all honesty mate, leave the ones that are stuck where they are......they wont shift once you JB between the magnets...
Just make sure you have the magnets in north/south properly, other wise it will effect the charge rate a bit....
Its not so much the glue behind the magnets that is at fault, its the serious vibes and power pulses of the v twin that shear
them off. The JB fill bewteen stops that from occuring. Just the finest even smear of JB on the backs of the loose magnets, let
that set...i uses 6mm dowell bewteen mine to gap them, and after 12 hours you can fill....making sure its even height on all.
You only need 1/3rd of the depth filled, again, its just to stop the shearing.....
