Thanks! This will help when reinstalling my new rotor after the magnets in my old one disintegrated. Too bad I didn't see this sooner or I wouldn't have to drop the pan to get one of those plastic spacers out.
Thanks for the tips and advice. My rotor arrives tomorrow and I will definitely be using some of the tips you suggested when I’m installing the new one.
@@bikersquest well I finally got it installed. Hardest part was trying to separate the cover from the rotor because of the magnets and getting the old gasket off. Think I scuffed it a little so hopefully it won’t start leaking later. Haven’t started it yet since I got done late.
Firstly, thank you for this "how to" video. I live in Canada and have a 2007 R1, I decided to proactively change the rotor even though mine looked fine at 22k. I didn't see the need to replace the stator so just did the rotor. I had 3 options, $950.Cnd for OEM, or $250 for the RM or Kimpex (China Made) replacement. I called RM Stator first but they were unfortunately resistant to answer my questions, I found their customer service poor. I ordered a Kimpex brand one which looked exactly the same as RM Stator's. The rotor looked decent but had improper machine tolerances, the spacer didn't fit over the shaft - some people apparently sand it down but I didn't feel comfortable doing this, nor should you need to if machined properly. Additionally, it fit too loosely when seated in the bearing. Returned for OEM. BTW the OEM has updated this part and it does look slightly different than these Chinese knock offs. In a high HP, high RPM engine, I'd buy Japan made OEM... just my opinion. Good luck & stay safe!
Because other's reported their rotor magnets falling off therefore leaving them with no charge and stranded, there's no way to tell when and how this happens and Yamaha replaced the part with a version shielding the magnets from falling so there's no point in me chancing it.
I would've recorded it but had no access to tripod or anything. The cardboard holds the cogs and spacers behind the rotor, I just pulled the rotor out and then with the cogs/spacers held back by the cardboard I got the T handle and put it through them then removed the cardboard and slowly the T handle with the cogs/spacers etc

Glad it was helpful
Did your battery not charge after this happened?

I've just ordered the same tank knee pads as you too 👍🏼
Great advice bro
Great video, cheers. Did mine yesterday.
Glad it helped!

I agree, what you see in the video is an OEM replacement!
Pull it all out as one unit heaps easier
Gen 2 Fazer is from which year period?
2010
Old rotor magneto look still good. Why change? 🤔

They just give up without any warning ⚠️ if your luck you'll get a strange sound
This is different to the FZS1000 Fazer 01-04
Yes this is for Gen 2 FZ1 and Fazers 2006-2015
Replace rotor with after market rotor? Advise
OEM Yamaha part 2SH814500000 they replaced the old one
@@bikersquest was there a recall?
@@saidfrh Nope, Yamaha stealth replaced the part so if you don't do this the magnets might fly out leaving you stranded
you left the most important video part of removal smh
