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?

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

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

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.

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]
