stator interchange

[vista461]

Does anyone know what other stators will interchange with a 1985 GS700ES ?

Looking like my budget is more in the "used" than "new" range.

Here you go:

Click on Suzuki or Kawasaki at the bottom of the page and you'll find all the bikes with compatible stators.

Hi,

The pictures aren't always of the actual product. But if you check the list you will see that the same stator is used on a lot of different GS bikes.



Thank you for your indulgence,

Ok now I am confused/worried.

On the Electrosport site it says these all use the same stator,

but on Rick's site they have different P/N's for the 85 GS700 and 83/85 GS550. I didn't look for Ricks site till after I did a Buy it now on EBay for a new GS550 Stator based on the info from the Electrosport site that a local shop was selling on ebay for 79.99 .
Does anyone know for sure that the 83-86 550 stator will work on the 85 700?

Hi,

The part number variations are probably because of the specific connectors and rubber grommets used on specific bikes. My experience with Electrosport and RMStator; you get the bare stator. Then you install your own connectors and re-use the grommets.

Picked it up today its a Rick's stator. Not bad for $80 ($85 with tax) I think.

Hi,

Nope, not bad. It's easy to spend $100-$140 or more for a stator, before shipping and tax. Good going.

Well it's back together and charging The upper end is 14.6volts hope thats not too much, the battery was at 12.1 when I started it if that matters.

Thank you very much BassCliff, your tutorial helped greatly and made it easy to figure out what to do
