Repair on flywheel magnet

Post by ogri211 »

I have been trying to locate a replacement flywheel rotor for my Z1300, and seem to be unable to find the correct one, also no one does repairs on them. My question is the magnets are complete but one has a crack across it, the crack is not on any of the 2 holes that are used for the ignition pick ups, if I was to seal the crack and around the magnet with epoxy would the flywheel still function properly, I know I would be putting another North- South joint in one of the magnets, would this affect the charging or would the magnetic field still be sufficient to correctly charge the system , has anyone any experience with this as when searching the net people say it will but have not backed it up with either experience or Electrical knowledge.
