removing flywheel cover...?

[braap295]

how do I get this thing off? Got all the bolts off but it feels like there is a spring holding it on...can't seem to figure it out

Make sure all the bolts are off and use the prying tabs to remove the cover with a large flat bladed screw driver or small pry bar.

the cover is off, but i cant remove it fully as, like i said, it feels like it is still attached to something...perhaps the stator or something?

 

[hangtime]

the flywheel has magnets in it which hold onto it .
just pull it off

next question:::the wires that feed through the cover, do I disattach them right from the metal box near the foottray? I pulled off one of the screw on plastic caps but i guess its just a seal and the wires are still in there....?

they go straight to the ebox. to remove them you need to take you ebox apart. that cap is where your fuse is for the ebox.

Unless you really have to remove them, I would just leave them attached.

most definitely. it's a pain in the arse to remove those wires. I hate messing with stators and CDIs. if your stator is fried, just call havasu watercraft. Brandon will send you a quality used one, complete with cover and all, for $175 if he has it in stock. last summer a rivet broke off my flywheel and ANIHILATED my stator. Havasu was a lifesaver 800-680-6621
