Gidday Mike,
The kit assembly replaces stator, rotor and cover ; it’s partly about less output required for track bikes, and also in reducing the rotating weight at the end of the crank. All-up, it’s 737g lighter, and more importantly the rotor is 348g of that. Plus, the design of the rotor is quite different to the standard part – as you’d be aware, the standard rotor looks something like a clutch housing, while the kit part is more like a cotton reel. I got the assembly from TKA, all-up it cost about $1250. Given the rain we’ve had in Sydney of late and the fact I don’t yet have any wets, I’ve yet to actually ride the bike with the new alternator, but it does feel like it revs a bit quicker (not necessarily a good thing trying to get out of corners, mind you …).
As regards the OEM stator, not really sure what it’s worth, will give a dealer a call and see what new goes for. It was running fine when it came off the bike, at a guess with 4-5000 km on the clock (replaced with kit tacho, so no idea of actual mileage). I can deliver it to PI when I’m down in a couple of weeks, or post it prior.
BTW, you may have missed my other post, but are you still interested in the tank ? I can also bring that when I come down.
Cheers,
Brian
