Dead stators wanted

[SVSooke]

Going to do some more research on it before I do anything.Did a quick scan of Nerobro's thread.Will take a way better look before doing anything.Seen that PDF to and will download it to.Tend to get more than I think I need cause I will mess it up.

I am also experimenting with putting larger gauge wires on the stators, 16 gauge vs. the factory 18 gauge.

I hope this clarifies things for the curious.

Koolaid_Kid,

personally I think rewinding with 16 gauge wire is not a good idea and I'll tell you why. with the increase of current output from the larger wire diameter will also come the additional heat put on the stator when the R/R shunts the current back to the stator. given the insulation on the wire should be around the same thickness for both 16Ga and 18Ga wire, the additional heat given off by the stator may break down the insulation quicker and the resultant increase of the windings shorting out sooner than would be if one used the factory spec'd wire gauge.

so, what is your opinion of this, am I all wet on my thinking?

I still have the stator that shorted at RRR. 31401-49010, fits 78-80 1000-1100 engines. I don't think that will do your '83 any good.

If you don't want it I will pay to ship it to me. It covers a fair range of big bikes pre-1981.

Well, I misworded that! I'll have to go back and change that immediately. what I intended to say was that I am putting 16 gauge wire from the stator to the R/R, where the factory used 18 gauge wire. Geez, my bad.
Fixed. Thanks for pointing that out, I am usually more careful than that.

Mis-wording, I'm the king of that! I find it hard to put my thoughts on paper correctly.

additional comments... a 16Ga re-wired stator with a compufire R/R; now that would be cool!

[koolaid_kid]

That would indeed be awesome.

I have a very burnt 12 pole stator from my 79 850. There are no wires from the windings to the wiring harness though. PM me if you want it. I may have a picture of it in my photobucket album.

Can I have it back when you're done with it?

PM me to make arrangements.

PM sent. LMK.

Yes, you can have it back for the sum of one MILLION DOLLARS (pinky goes toward mouth).
PM sent. Thanks.

Whoa! Did you use this as a camping cookstove?

Dear Mr. Koolaid_Kid
I have a stator with one of the wire leads broke off at the stator.
