Alternator Cover – Removal
Make sure the motorcycle is stabilised and adequately supported.
A correctly supported motorcycle will help prevent it from falling.
An unstable motorcycle may fall, causing injury to the operator or damage to the
motorcycle.
The rotor magnets are very strong. When handling the alternator cover the
magnets may 'grab' the stator, causing injury to the hands or fingers. When
handling the alternator cover wear suitable gloves and only grip the alternator
cover by the outside surfaces; always keep hands and fingers clear when handling
the alternator cover.

The alternator and crankshaft position sensor share the same harness.
Note the routing of the alternator harness for installation.
