Hi all,
Since noone seemed to notice the post in the Stealth owners thread, and it's not exactly Stealth specific Ill post this here also.
For background info this is on a HS4065. I've had intermittent hall sensor issues for a while now. About 2 months ago, they all died at once. I replaced them, not doing the best job of connecting them up (i.e. without solder and just using heat shrink), but it seemed to work at first. After a while, the intermittent shuddering issues came back. I continued to live with it since I could usually get normal function back by just messing around with the throttle and application of brake together.
Well, I had a hall sensor completely rip out of it's slot the other day whilst riding. It seems my epoxy job wasn't quite up to scratch on one of the sensors. Funnily enough, I was able to keep riding with a very slight shudder most of the way home even though I could see the sensor was loose through the side cover holes.
Anyway today I got around to cracking open the motor for the repairs.
I thought I'd take the opportunity to attempt (again) to solder the hall sensors on properly...like everyone suggested, but to my surprise all but one of the 9 heat shrunk sensor legs were on very tight. I think I'll still chuck a bit of solder on this time anyway though.
Now for the weird part...all 3 of my hall sensors are dead at the same time...again!
Anyone know what can cause that? Could a short somewhere between the pos/neg hall sensor wires cause them all to blow together?
Could it be a controller issue?
Cheers
