Mount Screw for stator came loose.

Well, i noticed a wiring noise coming from the left side of the bike. Sounded like something was rubbing or that something wasn't getting oil.

Initially I was afraid that somehow I had lost oil to the top end and a cam was cooking, so I pulled the cover and everything was good. Adjusted the clearances while I was in there.

Fired it back up to listen for the sound location, and after putting my hand on the stator cover I felt a definite rattle/bump.

Pulled the cover and found a mount screw for the stator had come loose



couldnt get a real clear shot but you can see the top right screw had the head sheared half off.

And It cleaned off the outside edge of the rotor:



cleaned out the rotor the inside of the case and cover to get whatever shavings were in there.

Really wish I had some bolts to replace the screws with... grrrrr

Hi,

I use the red locktite on those screws, and a couple of gentle taps with the impact driver to make sure they stay in. I've had to replace my stator a few times but never lost a screw. The screws will come right out with a few more taps of the impact driver.


Thank you for your indulgence,
