Fried Stator Poll

I have never fried one, of the 1 1000E, 6 850G's, 3 1000G's, and 1 1100G I have owned, and all but 2 are either still mine or belong to a close relative, none have ever had a complete charging system failure. Some of these bikes get used more than others, but most of them have over 10000 miles under my care. Some have many more.Last edited by 850 Combat; 11-13-2010, 11:09 PM.sigpic Too old, too many bikes, too many cars, too many things

And as Duange notes, if you check the Honda Poll there are very few incidences of a Honda 6 wire R/R burning a stator.
Based on today, poll there are 10 which have claimed no stator issues out of a total of 47 volts. That means there have been an 80% stator failure affliction rate for the active population of GS's.Last edited by posplayr; 12-11-2010, 06:29 PM.

To add to the poll (since I already put my answer in it), I just replaced the replacement stator I got from TKent. One leg burned out, due to a faulty connection. A wire that I should have soldered and didn't was loose in the crimped butt splice, and as far as I can tell, that, or the massive downpour I was riding in the day it happened caused the stator failure. Now, I have the stator off of my parts 850 on the bike, it's a little blackened, but putting out acceptable voltage (86.7vac @4k rpm) and 13.1-13.9 vdc @5k rpm, so hopefully it will last for awhile.

I have replaced three stators. The original one on my GS700 (I bought the bike new) went out at about 62,000 miles. The replacement went out at 9,000 miles during a pouring rainstorm where the bike was ridden through standing water several times.
The stator on my 1000G went out at about 24,000 miles. It was the original one. The replacement is fine at 34,000 miles.
I picked up a GS550ES with about 7,000 miles on it, original stator on it. I sold the bike at 8,000 miles, it was fine. My GS450E (12,000 miles), my GS750E (sold with 18,000 miles), my 1150E (wrecked with 24,000 miles), and my GS1000E (32,000 miles) all have/had the original stators on them. My 850G still had the original stator on it when it was sold last year.
So my failure rate is 2 out of 8 bikes had failures, one of them had two failures..Last edited by Griffin; 04-21-2012, 10:38 PM.sigpic

Free speech is the foundation of an open society. Each time a society bans a word or phrase it deems “offensive”, it chips away at that very foundation upon which it was built.
