    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...

    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.

You'll need to post photos, but most stators come good to go. Some bikes you have to run the wires through the rubber grommets and put the connectors on the end, but I haven't seen one for a GS like that. I've used the goodentight method, without fail so far, but I'm sure there is a torque spec in your manual.
 
its a caltric stator ,here is a pic of tie wraps stator.jpg where the wires attach
 
Bad design to use nylon tie wraps. Over time the nylon ties will get brittle and break, leaving debris in your engine. Most use cord to tie the wires in place. The cord stays put and doesn't harden.
 
so what should I do ? leave on or cut off ?anybody else used the caltric stator if so what did u do? im replacing right now thanks
 
Leave the tiewraps alone and install. Be sure to bypass the factory harness and feed the stator wires directly into the R/R. The factory harness has some major limitations so don't just plug the stator like it was before.
 
ok thanks ,already have it wired straight to r/r .thanks again

That stator looks like a replaceable wear item.........:-&
 
interesting. According to wikipedia The melting point of nylon starts at 190 celsius but there are plenty of options for material. which are these, I wonder.

I think the concern is the stuff gets hot, hardens, gets brittle and breaks.
