I would not try to force the arm down. You will break something.
When you start the bike the arm will not go down??

Believe its F4 in the right fuse box.
I really dont think you blew the 20 amp fuse if since it goes thru a relay.

I was finally able to pry and wiggle the dash cover off. Took the end covers off the hex shaft. Magnet still in place. I've got a suspicion I installed the arm on the shaft 60 degrees off, but then again those drift pin holes obviously lined up okay.
I'm mystified (but very glad I haven't broken anything yet that I know of)
I don't have BUDS.

That's great you got it off. Now to figure out what is not right.
Did you remove the plastic off the shaft that has the magnet on it??
There is a top and bottom on that arm. It does have top stamped on it too.

Is the magnet oriented correctly? How about the slight bend in the arm?

I am guessing it is compared to NOBOOTs Video. around the 2 minute mark.
There is a TOP stamped on the arm. That faces up.
Did you remove the plastic end where the magnet goes into? or did the magnet fall out at anytime?

I've just figured out I had the arm mounted on the shaft 180 degrees different from the original, based on pictures I took of the magnet end before I dismantled the original arm. Wish I'd checked that before...

Thats good you found it. Does the magnet have dot on the end. Hard to tell from the pics.

You need to remove the arm and rotate it 180' A number of people have had the same problem (including us) and once rotated it all worked correctly.

Good morning Ron. I just did that and now everything works properly. Thanks.
I'm afraid your Mona Lisa looks more like a Sydney Pollack now. Sorry mate.

No dot but one place on the edge it was slightly disfigured.

Thanks. I was hoping to see some sort of sign that would help others if there was a dot on the magnet.
Maybe next person who does there's will start marking a dot on the magnet too??

In retrospect, it would have been simpler just to rotate the magnet rather than removing the gear and arm from the shaft again. Oh well.

Pete, because of the delicate nature of the magnet relating to the proximity switch we have always concentrated on working from the worm wheel end and as our video indicates not to disturb the magnet end.

In the process of replacing my broken arm with Noboot’s arm. I’m at the point where I got the pins out of the hex shaft but the old arm doesn’t seem to want to budge / slide off. Any suggestions on how to get it free?
Thanks!

Have you used the 5 Shims that would have come with the arm ? And watched the video ? That will help

Little oil clean the shaft and tap on hard wood table it comes out. And you can see thru the pin holes correct? Have to ask questions.
You have the gear off correct?

I took off the magnet side after stripping the screw on the gear side. I can see through the pin holes. Going to try oil on the shaft. Thanks!

Yes, watched the video a few times. I used the shims to take off the magnet side since the screw stripped on the gear side.
Just can’t get the broken arm to slide off. Going to try a little oil.

You can use a hair dryer too to heat up the old arm shaft area.
The screw you could have used a bit of heat too.
It should slide somewhat easy. Scotch pad works good on the shaft before removal.

Thanks!! Ended up using a bit of wd40 and let it sit for an hour or so then tapped the broken arm down with a hammer.
My biggest issue is that one of the pins got damaged and wouldn’t slide back in, so I’m running the arm with one pin. Hopefully that’s not too bad. Other then that, it goes up and down no issues.
