Stator in pieces ????

[xDUKEx]

i was out on the old gs this evening and all of a sudden i heard a rattling, crunching sound coming from under my stator cover is it possible that the stator has broken into pieces. the bike quit running and wont restart. has anyone ever had this happen ?? will there be pieces of metal in my oil now??? it is making noise without the motor runnin while i was pushing it sounds like it is in pieces ???

Well first you have to swallow hard and open the side cover up. Obviously there are issues. SOunds like the starter clutch bought it but nothing beats a look-see.

Pictures are necessary

Hi,

Ouch! It could be that the stator and/or rotor has come loose. If you've never had that cover off before, CLICK HERE to see what to expect. Keep us informed.


Thank you for your indulgence,

Noise with the motor off I would pull the cover over the chain sprocket and have a look
