Re: Alternator failure

Hi Finally back and stuck at home due to covid  :ninja: My local dealer does not agree to proceed as I wished. So I'm gonna do the job all by myself. Just found the alignment pin on KFM-Motorräd and waiting for it, as it is needed to block the engine on the bottom dead center to pull apart ...
