    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.

Rewinding Stator, Where to Get Wire?

My stator is bad, so the bike isn't charging. I need to get some high temp 17-18 ga. magnet wire. I've tried local and have called some companies that I found on the internet. From the ones I've talked to, just buying the wire is going to cost between $70.00-$80.00

That is pretty steep. Is there anyone that sells the right wire cheaper? I'd like to save some money and rewind my own stator, but at these prices, I'd be ahead if I just bought a new one :shock:
 
Have you checked the electric motor repair shops in your area?

It should be the same type of wire.

I've used Belden 8075 (1lb roll) and sourced it through Digikey online. Great company to deal with.
 
I just ordered 300' of 18 AWG from McMaster-Carr for $21.00.
