    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Bad Stator

After running for a few minutes, my bike will die. The battery isn't getting a charge. I tested my stator as follows:

yellow - blue/white: 1.2 ohms
yellow - green/white: .7 ohms
blue/white - green/white: .7 ohms

blue/white - ground: .9 ohms
green/white - ground: .7 ohms
yellow - ground: .9 ohms

While running and revving, the battery never goes over 11.8 volts. So I opened up my side cover, and this is how my stator looked:

Looks fried to me. What the best place for a new stator? OEM?

As a side note, I'd love to meet the man that decided to use phillips screws to fasten the stator. They're all stripped. Anyone have any advice besides grinding them off?

Get an SH-775 Series R/R to avoid burned stators. There are several manufacturers, I would go with Electrosport if you have the Series R/R

Alot of people use impact drivers but I fins with a socket wrench after taping the bin deep into the screw you can usually get them out if you maintain pressure.
 
I use a thick pad, basically part of an old wrestling mat, to put the cover on while I press downward on the screw using a large Phillips. When I reassemble, I use button-head metric cap screws instead. With threadlocker, of course. I stripped one last year and opted to grind a slot into the screw head, so I could remove it with a regular large screwdriver.

For working on these Japanese machines you need a set of JIS screwdrivers, when I changed my stater there was no problem.
