Installing the ElectroSport Stator

[Meriban]

I am a little overwhelmed with the wiring explanations with the new stator from ElectroSport...The tech guide talks about two wires being unregulated...then it says to take the white/green wire and hook it directly to the R/R. Does anyone have any photos of how they hooked theirs up? I am a little trepidatious about screwing it up...Any help would be appreciated...

The 3 stator wires just go direct to R/R - don't worry about color on the stator output connections, cuz it doesn't matter. But I have to ask what R/R are you using???? Hopefully it ain't either the stock suzuki or an ES one.

Do your stator a big favor and consider a upgrade to either the Compufire or the Shindengen SH775 when you install your new stator.

Unfortunately I have and ES R/R...Should I resell it? Do I just run new wires to the R/R and by pass the wiring harness?...What about the two extra blue/white wires on the stator? There are five wires coming out of the new stator, Two yellow and one Green/White...I am assuming I just use the two yellow and the one Green/White...

Huh? 5 wires? My stator only had 3 wires, pics please. Yeah, ditch the stock R/R and install one of the series type R/Rs ie. Compufire or the Shindengen SH775. You'll be much better off in the long run.

Not sure how to send you the photo.

The simple way to attach a photo to a post is with the "paperclip" doohicky in border at top of box that you're typing in. Once you have a pic in your computer, just browse to it and add it to your post.
Not sure what ES is doing with 5 wires out of stator- unless stator has multiple applications- so instructions should be real clear as to which wires go where. You definitely want stator wired direct to R/R, so bypass the headlight loop.

Ive been running th electrosport stator and r/r for a while now. Is the electrosport r/r prone to faiure?

I got an email response

I got an email response

ElectroSport Sent me an email and said...The Yellow, Blue/White and Green/White wires are the ones to be connected to the Yellow R/R wires
Just cut and stub out the other yellow and Blue/White wires

Yes. that was my last burn out was Electrosport. The R/R was a shunt type and we all know shunt is crap lol. I did install a new Electrosport stator though with a Compufire series R/R. The series R/R is the trick. My Electrosport stator was only a 3 wire, that's why I was taken back with the 5 wire stator. Wonder what the other wires were for...

I don't think I will install the ElectroSport R/R..I don't want to mess with any electrical issues when I put it back together...It is a new R/R, wonder if I could resell it on Ebay?

I went to compufire and I didn't see an R/R for my bike? which one did you use?

See the link in my signature; there is only one 3 phase series R/R from Compufire that will work.

Number:CF55402
Manufacturer:Compu-Fire?
Weight:1.50 pound(s)
In Stock:0*
List Price:$203.99
Our Price:$173.39
You Save:$30.60 (15%)*

If you cant afford the $175 then try the SH-775 Polaris. Do a search for current availability

Unfortunately the Electrosport R/R is really not much better than any of the R/R's except the oldest ones that only regulate one stator leg.

If you have a smaller cc bike, it might work for you if you insure that all the connections are go. Run a Quick Test to conform basic operation then if you pass proceed to Revised Phase A.

EDIT: I just check your signature you have nothing but big bikes. I would definitely get a Series R/R (Compufire or SH-775 ASAP). The Electrosport stators put out more power in the lower RPM range where cooling is less effective and they can burn quickly.

Hi...I installed probably the same Electrosport 5-wire stator along with a Compufire 55402 3-phase R/R...can be had through Amazon for about $175...not cheap but absolutely the best way to go...fyi, because the Compufire comes with a special fitting, I went to Pep Boys and got the matching fitting. Sorry, can't remember the exact "name" but you will recognize it when you see it in the wiring section.

I saw a new stator recently that had 5 wires, but when you pealed back the wire cover eventually you could see there were really only 3 wires with the other two piggy backed on. Look carefully at the wire as it comes off teh stator; should only be 3 wires.

You just need to be more careful with using the Image tool.

1.) Click into a empty spot in your post.
2.) copy the image link
3.) click on the Image icon
4.( replace the entire URL with the one you copied into the buffer.
5.) Hit OK
6.) hit return back in the post edit window.

Thanks for the heads up. i installed the Electrosport about 5 years ago, long before i was hooked on this site. Sadly i only have been averaging about 1000 miles a year lately (kids, work ,the usual song) possibly delaying its failure. I will be researching old posts to learn more...

I will definitely purchase the Compu Fire as you all suggest...The stator wires are just as posplayr suggested...They were pigtailed together the blue and the yellows...I just cut them and dead ended them with some tape....I will order it today...Got the valve covers pulled, the carbs off and most of the rewiring done...I almost have all, new connections on that bike...There were a lot of iffy connections...

what do I do with the red wire that was in the plug block...along with the three wires which go to the Stator?
