Shorted stator. Other damage?
Hey all, I have a shorted stator and was wondering if there is anything I should check out before slapping in a new one and firing the bike up?
Real bravery is being afraid but doing it anyway.

Re: Shorted stator. Other damage?
There was a recall of 10&6r's in recent times for this issue....is your bike one of those affected ?

Re: Shorted stator. Other damage?
I'd def be looking at the rectifier as well;
I went with a Polaris SH775 series recfitier - apparently they reduce the load on the stator and keep it significantly cooler.
Got it from http://www.roadstercycle.com/

Re: Shorted stator. Other damage?
On the recall front, the bike was made in December 2010 so I'll have to check that out.
Keeping the stator cooler will definitely help avoid a repeat of this, so will look into it.
The good news I was able to get a stator yesterday. I've just fired her up and the regulator survived and is giving me a stable 14.5v
I wasn't looking forward to a 2hr train / bus trip to work on Monday.

Re: Shorted stator. Other damage?
Hi guys
I am having issues with my charging system. Battery voltage 11.8V when motor not running and it doesn't change when bike runs.
I had the reg,rect recall done some time ago. I replaced battery few weeks ago.
How to test stator before removing?
Thanks

Heres my progress so far.
Stator is faulty and was shorted to ground.
peter stevens wants over $300 for one of these. [CRYING FACE]

Re: Shorted stator. Other damage?
Give these guys a call. Much better than what you buy off the shelf. They repair and strengthen your old one above oem spec

Re: Shorted stator. Other damage?
