    Damage assessment

    How bad does this look? Can you tell me what parts I need to buy?



    Does "ignition pickup inspection cover" mean the engine case?

    "Attachment" didn't work and the photo it pretty low res and harshly lit but at the minimum it looks like you'll need new pickups and to get those broken screws out. Left handed drill bits for the ones that are flush are your friends. You can use a pair of vise grips to get that bent screw out...

    Is the bottom right bent or just the angle of the shot?

      This any better?

      Of course the big question is are the forks or frame bent. That would be a real game changer. I'm going on the assumption they're not, if there are some low-ticket items I can pick up now to deliver to my mechanic along with the bike in a month or so.

        Take it to your mechanic for an assessment. It's going to need (at minimum): signal generator plate assembly, rotor w/screw, and cover. And maybe an advance unit.

          As mentioned before I have all the parts you need.
          You need a signal generator and probably a mechanical advance and hardware.

              Bent the lip on the casing and removed a bit of it by the look of that. Not unknown for the end of the crank to get a bend, too.

                From what I can see it looks like you'll need items #4, 7 and 8 as a minimum. You may need item 5 as well but it depends on how much damage it received.




                You also need the signal generator cover, gasket and the three screws that hold it on. What concerns me the most is the missing center bolt. Hopefully it's not broken inside the crank. If so you'll need to remove the whole assembly and see if you can left and drill it out.

                My bet is that it's all sitting on someone's shelf and ready for you to get it shipped.

                  It looks to me as if the engine cover I need is part number 13 in the above link ("COVER CONTACT B"). Correct?

                    Can anyone even tell me what it's properly called (right side, round, says, "SUZUKI TSCC") so I can search for it? I keep coming up with clutch covers.

                      Point cover or signal generator cover.

                        Thanks.

                        This fiche calls it "contact breaker cover":

                          when people know these engines like we do there is no need for a microfiche to look at.

                            Will do. That's a good enough endorsement for me. Plus I've done business with Bill before.

                              The signal generator assembly and the advance assembly - if they work, that's good enough, right? There's no need to spring for brand new parts, is there?

                              Same thing apply for the other parts behind the point cover?
