Just a quick Dynastarter update for anyone thinking of going down this route .........I've been using for a few months now  and I have to say that I'm finding that the benefits really do significantly outweigh the problems I had setting it up - kickstarting the bike was a big chore for me - 'wrong' side kickstarter plus a bit of pereneal nerve damage in my right leg from overenthusisatically trying to kick start a very reluctant Royal Enfield a few years ago makes kickstarting anything more than  a few kicks a little uncomfortable  , so I used to hate kickstarting the NF.

All the parts are pretty easy to purchase - I'd say that the biggest hassle was the pulley, as I seemed to need a smaller pulley than I had anticipated, to ensure adequate charge.

Having to kickstart the bike was a major downside of the bike for me -I used to particularly dread stalling it lights or junctions- as this entailed pushing to the side of the road, putting it on the main stand and then kicking it over - these days , apart from trying to not to stall the bike , if I do , now it's not a problem .

I am very grateful for the great help and advice I received from some members on the forum , and I  just thought some members may be interested in an update, some months down the line.

Yes. Some great advice offered. I was unable to purchase a 70mm pulley anywhere and ended up having a friend of a friend machine one for me. Fitted the pulley and smaller belt  on Friday and it's working a treat.

I used to dislike kickstarting the NF, particularly since I injured my leg trying to kickstart a very recalcitrant Royal Enfield before Christmas, and the dynastarter has transformed the bike .

Thanks everyone

Salut! Merci beaucoup pour les infos - et c'est super d'avoir contact d'un fana de falcone de l'autre cote de l'eau qui nous separe! Je pense qu'obtenir un 70mm pulley sera la chose la plus difficile et a ce moment le plan le plus possible c'est de demander a un ami de fair un pulley pour moi! Seulement un des joix d'obtenir un tel unique motorcycle. Merci encore une fois de prendre le temps de me repondre.
Meilluers voeux, Lee

Hello Randall

I have a question - and I rather suspect that given your expertise, it may not be the last .....

Ive drawn a blank on obtaining a smaller pulley for the dynastarter - at the mo I am going to ask a freidn of a friend to machine one for me . I know he can do this, but it will take quite a bit of time , and if you by any chance knew of any suppliers, that would be very helpful, and yet again, i'd be most grateful .

Tell me to stop asking for help if this is too much ...

Thanks for help everyone

Dynastarter fitted - took a bit of effort to be honest - ended up buying a regulator and solenoid from Paul at   

http://www.dynamoregulatorconversions.com/dynastarter-kit-shop.phprater

I must say it's transformed the bike . I hurt my knee before Christmas (trying to start a recalcitrant Royal Enfield, but thats a different story ....) , and I was finding kickstarting the NF, especially as its on the left very difficult . Now  it spins over very nicely   with decompressor pulled in, let decomp out and it fires up beautifully .

Only remaining  niggle is that it needs more revs than I normally use to charge - I put an 80mm pulley on (not an expert on pulleys , but assume the measurement is across the flat , between the widest outside points), and that evidently isnt small enough ,so I'm going to put somethign smaller on - probably 70mm.

Do any members know the standard fan belt length of the NG ? I'll need to put a shorter one on if I go to an even smaller pulley.

Thanks all

Morning Randall

Thank you- that is very helpful - you seem to know the detail - to press that point , I dont suppose you happen to know what regulator spec might fit- I tried googling NF civille regulator and drew a blank.

Sorry to be asking questions and taking - over time I hope to be able to contribute as well.

Hi all

Ive just fitted a dynastarter to my NF. Needed some fettling, but it's in and working OK as an alternator . But I cant figure out the wiring to use it an a starter , particularly as it relates to the regulator - I'm wondering if I need a different regulator .

I wondered if anyone has a wiring diagram please ( dynsastarter available new from https://www.rotatingelectrics.co.uk/brand-new-dynastarter-motor-replaces-bosch-to-fit-tractor-lombardini-12v-11amp-09kw-dst10004-110061 )

Thank you

Lee
