No problem Stef, that's what we are here for. If you are putting a YPVS wheel in an LC, you will need the YPVS sprocket spacer plus you will need to swap from 530 to 520 chain and sprockets

Will a Ypvs output shaft fit in LC cases, to help chain alignment for a wider rear wheel? Stef. No it won't. As well as the splined bit where the sprocket mounts being longer, the internal bit inside the box is longer too.

Does no harm at all to run a few extra ones, I ran an earth cable from the engine case up to the frame and also from the battery negative to the frame.

Yep, as above sounds like the engine has been changed at some point. No big deal really, unless you are after originality. Pretty much all the engine parts are compatible and any combinations of barrels, carbs, crankcases etc will work fine. Only exception being stators and CDI's but if the original F2 setup has been retained that's a bonus too as it's more reliable than the 31K unit.

I have on my LC. I used an 80mm Racetech speedo and fitted it to the original LC housings. Took a bit of doing but works ok. I used a hall effect sensor that picks up off the disc bobbins

Plug might be different too, but as above is functionally the same so will work ok.

I'd be doing the water pump seal too and checking the impeller shaft for excessive wear. I'm not convinced that much water could get into the box through the water pipe seal O ring.

cheers dusty i just wanted to know the diff between a 4L0 and a4L1 and a tie bar frame but i got it the 4loand4L1 are the same just diff yrs and the tie bar is a ypvs frame i think lol 410 and 4L1 frames are identical, just the early ones didn't have tie bar mounts. All the YPVS models have them.

Please be advised that fitting an RGV arm to your LC will ruin the looks and will automatically enrol you into the clitoris club (every c*nt's got one!)
Disclaimer: This advice has been offered free of charge and is my opinion only! It's your bike so what you do with it is entirely up to you.
PS, I was joking a little so please don't take this seriously, just that I feel the RGV thing has been done to death and parts are also bloody expensive because of this. It would be great to see something different!

Pattern or genuine indicators should both have a gap

No there should be a gap as the shoulder locks the nut

Or stick it on eBay for £650 with ' may be of use to someone' in the description. Then use the money to buy a decent one.😁 But don't forget the 'free' postage!

Very nice, there's something lovely about a clean standard LC that is so right. Nice Alfa behind too.

Don't think it matters but I always fitted them with the tab facing outwards. I assume they are to tap or lever against if the reed block is stuck to the barrel to save damaging the sealing surface. YPVS reed blocks don't have them.

Hi guys, the original Gully seat on my LC is a bit of a state now and needs some attention. The base has cut through the cover on both front lower edges near the tank, the rubber pads on the underneath have punched through the fibreglass base and the base also has some cracks. What's the best way to get it sorted while retaining as much originality as possible?
Thanks

The RGV is also a V twin where the RD is parallel so the firing pulses will be different so highly unlikely the tachos will interchange

Basically, the servo receives it's power supply from the control unit. It has no direct connection to the main wiring loom at all.

Not sure, but the brown wire is the live feed to the control unit from the fuse box, black is ground and grey or black/yellow is the rpm signal from the CDI.
5 wires go direct from the control unit to the servo and don't connect into the main loom. There must be a live, ground and the other 3 are the feedback from the position pot inside the servo. Easiest way to find out may be to pop the back off the servo and follow the wires inside the unit.

As Dave said it doesn't matter. The 3 white wires are the 3 phase output from the generator into the rectifier so can be in any order.

Good news. I wired in the diode kit..... link above.... which was really easy, the kit came with clear instructions and a diagram. The 3 pin relay arrived today, installed and hey presto we have indicators that work. One good thing apart from the working indicators was by chasing through for the issues I have a much better understanding of the electrics as a whole and where relays etc live. Now hopefully an MOT next week and some photos on the forum. Then it will be time to refit the F2 fairing and get her to MOT. Thanks for the great advice its appreciated Bry Result

No it wouldn't. The likely culprit is likely to be the CDI unit or ignition stator
