Re: timing module repair

Thanks for replies guys.
happy to annaunce that I fixed my timing module. I scraped off the plastic injection piece by piece by a small screw driver and a sharp knife, took my hour and some sweat but I managed to get the circuit board to daylight. after that, I tested if the module is still functioning as before, and surprise, I was succesfull not harming the electronics. I started the engine and applied pressure on the board with a plastic stick while the engine was running. Funnily, engine didnt stop as before. this was nonsense to me, so I gave a try to squeeze the only electrolytic capasitor on the board with my fingers, and yes, engine stopped. I replaced the capasitor with a new one and tested again. seemed like I fixed it! : )
I filled the housing with red silicon, which is used for sealing at hot places, let it dry, install the module on the bike and did the static timing adjustment finally.
Did more than 100km forcing the engine to high revs, didnt see no sign of ignition problem.
conclusion;
I didnt have much to lose, gave a try and saved €620(minus 50cents for the capasitor and some time)
But as you guys pointed, it was matter of milimeters to harm the board, I was lucky this time. I would honestly warn others not to try this at home!
