    Little did I know that the worst is yet to come!!!

    So I took a spin with that kind of fixture on the generator; I called up people bugged many & nothing could help. So a complete conked off Sunday.

    So from Monday to Friday I took my scooter to office; but yes, it was very much fun to ride too. I seriously admit it. Some more power, say 20hp on scooter, I'll make Rx as weekend ride & keep riding scooter happily.

    Friday I was Furious!!! I was suggested to fit a digital CDI to solve the issue. So I came home, took a good 2 hours to fix the CDI & finally...the bike didn't start

    So after lots of R&D (obviously bugging people) I finally started & the heat? Yes it was still there!!!

    Anyway, I decided to change the poles of dyno on Saturday. Saturday morning, I started the work fresh, put the stator to the provided slots fixed it happily, ensure CDI works & 1 kick - boy!!! the Rx started. I was damn happy. I put back the case & then took it out, engaged the clutch and then realized...

    Good question! i wonder why i never asked this to myself so never tried to find a reason. My RD used to this in its pre RDD days and the reason other RD owners gave me was retarded timing. Im a bit mechanically challenged so from what i can understand is while kicking, before the crankshaft makes a good rotation in the normal direction, the retarded timing gives off a spark and the resulting combustion forces the piston downwards making the crank to rotate the other way.

I simply (pretended) tightened things with impact driver & then covered the case & then went on to start once again & voila the bike started moving forward.
    from what i could make out from your explainations and pics, the plate is fully screwed anticlockwise which is bound to retard the timing. one should start by fitting it fully clockwise and the move it mm by mm anticlockwise to find the right spot.
    Btw.. it could also be a misaligned wudruff key.

    That's very hilarious incident & the entire crowd watching your friend would've felt way too embarassed; I guess no one watched my scene too (just hoping

    +1; I too couldn't understand.

    What I ASSUME is, probably the magnet would've run in anti clockwise direction for some reason.

    The piston gets thrown the wrong way during combustion. it happens on KB100 also, but this is the first time i heard it on a RX.

    The bike started moving in reverse - Lol; I was surprised, instead of a worried face, I was lauching, called my Wife & showed her my new ability!!! I told her, not even Busa, R1 or Ducs have this ability!!!

    But then I observed a strange issue; the cylinder is getting hot, very hot just for a 2 Kms

    oh argee your bike went reverse good there was no one behind or else would have hurted either,i remember a close friend had a jawa(belonged to his father)when we used to go to college during the 90's he used to tell me that the jawa goes reverse i used to tell him i think attending to many lectures and looking at girls you have become mad (you know college days joke and enjoy)it so happened after college we decided to go fer a movie on his jawa when we were leaving it was crowded at the college gate and a gril was behind us with a new scooty,he had to pay for the college parking when he was payingthe bike was in neutral,i told him come on pay him fast the show will start he said ok ok,when he put the first gear the bike went reverse and banged the new scooty and the girl fell down crying and complaining you broke my new scooty my god that time i was surprised how come the bike went reverse what the hell happened

    She was dumb to ask, if I was working the whole day only to accomplish this? But then I explained to her as this happened by mistake & we should stop laughing as something would've conked off inside. But trust me, those were real hilarious moments.

    So I removed the setup once again to find the fault; nothing unusual as such, nothing visible apart from everything being normal. So I fitted it back. Very cautiously I engaged 1st gear & voila!!! It started moving front ; Good I'm happy now.

    But then I observed a strange issue; the cylinder is getting hot, very hot just for a 2 Kms non ripped ride. I don't know what the issue is all about, but it gets simply hotter. But did I solve this issue? And boy!!! did I think this was hilarious? Nope; the worst is yet to come.
