     Usefull information ,  Just spent the week looking for occasional click or rattle comming from primary ,dreading what i might find but figgure i,d try to find out what it was before it turned into something major,read every post to give me ideas on what it might be,or where to look,inner primary bearing,stator nut,clutch,etc etc or worse,gearbox or crank,finaly got compesater nut off with help of rattle gun at local truck tyre mob and couldnt see anything that stood out,no scuff marks,no metal,diddnt look good for further exploritory work,decided to remove rotor off altenator too check condition of stator and while putting rotor on bench for cleanup, thought it was funny that magnets were close together with large gap at one side ,"BINGO : SHAZAM"  whatever,  magnets hanging on by magnetism only, intermittant clicking and rattle ,  hope this helps someone else,bike shops quoted 4 figure sum to fix something they  haddnt even seen yet ,  glad i checked myself,     less than $100 inc post from ebay usa rotor only brand new ,  $225 complete with stator,rotor and regulator,free post ,ebay aust, new
