    Curious minds want to know.
    I am on the verge of replacing my Stator as well.
    Thanks all.
    Not being sarcastic here: Pull off the cover and take a look. I'm not guessing based on theory, I've done it.

    The stator replacement is very easy... You'll have to remove the starter motor first, because the wire from the stator runs underneath the motor and up to the R/R. The screws that hold the stator to the housing can be a little stubborn.

    What's wrong with your stator?

        A quick tip. When pulling an engine apart it can be very useful to poke the bolts through a piece of cardboard (or a cardboard box). You can draw on the box with a marker so that you can re-assemble with ease later on. It also helps with the 'short bolt, long bolt' problem as mentioned earlier.

          Here's something that will help people get their stator covers off.*

            Same here, GS750ESFDsomethingorother. I put it on the centerstand two pieces or wood maybe a little thicker than a 2x4 and lost nothing at all.

            Be sure you've got a good fitting screwdriver for the stator screws!

              An impact driver works wonders to break the bolts loose.
