    Like I would listen to someone who only rode L models. Weenie.
    And yes, you smell.

    I have 3 burned out stators. I figure that I will screw the first one up, the second one will be marginal, and the third one will be a keeper. At which point I can redo the first one and give it to Brian, give away the second one to some sucker (like you), and install the third one in my bike.
    As a side note, I inspected the stator in my GPz. It shows no signs of burning or heat induced issues. None at all. It has over 14k miles on it, and is most likely a shunt style system. I wonder why it is not having issues. Odd.

      Have you had a look at the tutorial drew up when I did mine? I have since done two and they are still working perfectly. Charging kicks in immediated at about 1300 RPM with the specs I used.

      Hope it helps you.

        Yes, your tutorial is the base I am using for this venture. It is most excellent. And due to your measurements and writing style, we suspected you were located in South Africa.

          Yes, South Africa here in the Garden Route on our East coast.

          If you use good wire and epoxy (not resin or varnish) and do some good preparations on the inner of the poles you will most likely do a better job than many off the shelf types.

          Do the first two or three poles to get the hang of it and familiarise yourself with the crossovers between the poles and especially on how to get about 35 winds on a pole as closely as you can. Pull those off and start again and you will find it quite easy, just a bit tedious.

          A small battery rotisserie for a barbeque can slowly spin the stator while you apply the epoxy and heat with hot air to thin it so it penetrates easier.

          Just a tip, practice turning ther stator and keeping the wire stationary while winding the poles, pigskin gloves help a lot. An old T-shirt over your personal beer vessel helps. Keep the wire roll on its end, dont let it spin freely.

          Then good luck.
