A heads up for any with Alton electric starter, my bike started running total loss electrics over the weekend and culprit found tonight - the two wires off the alternator were tucked around (1 over, 1 under) the composite facing on the stator and the lower one has worn through from rubbing on the edge
. A bit of delicate soldering to follow.
Not sure whether I tucked it around there or whether that is the factory routing - photo shows the wires now in front of the F rather than behind.
On the good news front an Odyssey PC625 battery can run total loss for quite some time, inlcuding using the electric leg, for a good chunk of 220 miles/350km and still be in the low 12's for voltage.
