    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.

Oops!

I smashed a stator wire right past the rubber grommet/plug under the stator cover. Can this repaired by a splice? If all seals like it should, I guess it will be right outside the "oily" area. Would oil on a bare wire be a certain short? Also, would running the bike like this for a while do more damage to the stator or R/R? I probably ran it a couple of test drives of about 10 miles each plus ran it parked to do some of the diagnostic tests. Stator leg to stator leg resistance looked good, Stator leg to engine ground looked bad (.3-.6 ohms) and dc voltage didn't show anything although I was charging at 13.2 volts on the test drives (4.5K rpms.) I'm thinking things were looking worse, the longer I ran it in this condition.

Lead to lead output tests should be VAC and around 75VAC @ 5,000 rpm.

Ooops again. What about the resistance of stator leg to engine ground. Could that possibly be helped on all 3 legs by repairing that one wire?
