    Stator resistance measurments

    Ok, so I'm checking my stator in an effort to find a charging problem on my 81 GS1000L.

    The resistance between each stator leg is 0.9 ohms, good.

    The resistance between each stator leg and chassis ground is between 0.5 and 1 mega-ohms, so its not exactly infinite, OL on the meter.

    So am I looking at a bad stator?

    Basscliffs document says it should be infinite but this measurement is still pretty high.

    cheers

    Hi,

    There should be no continuity at all between the stator legs and ground. If you get any resistance readings I would suspect the stator. How are the active tests?


    Thank you for your indulgence,

      Active test tomorrow. I'm going to get a new stator anyway with 2 GS's it would be nice to have a replacement anyway.

      cheers

        Good call, rip that factory stator out!

        Order a new R/R unit as well.(if you're running on the stock unit)
        ($30-100 on ebay)

        Because I guarantee your R/R is going to crap out next.
        And it's GOING to fry your brand new Stator!
        (the two components practically malfunction in synchronization!)

        I would not take that risk...because it happened to my 650.
