I think I need to replace my stator. Can anyone give me an idea as to what this entails, and maybe give me a good trusted source to buy the stator? Thanks...

 

Did you check the impedance across the three pin contacts in the plug. Should be all the same in the .4-.7ohm range and no short to ground. Running it should show about 66 volts for each of the three phases.

Easy to access and remove with the the fairing off. Disconnect the battery ground, unplug the stator, remove the clutch slave cylinder, unbolt the stator cover and pull out from the engine case. It's held in the cover by three bolts and a cable anchor.

Rick's motorcycle electrics has a replacement. They will reopen on 1-4-10.

 

Make sure you check the connections right below the front of the seat and just behind the tank. Honda stators are low failure devices. Their connectors are not.

 

This is what i've done so far. (oops, just realized I posted this in the wrong section..)

I know the wiring bundle you're referring to, but what do you mean by bad connections? Strip out that bundle, new connectors, heat shrink tubing, etc?

 

Bad connectors in this case can be identified by the best know diagnostic instrument know to man (except female intuition) ...

Look at the cables and connectors... Cables that aren't feeling well look crusty and burnt/bubbly... Connectors are either burnt as well or oxidated... Pop them apart (disconnect) and clean them, give them a shot of cleaning agent for connectors and a bit of "workout"... Follow the cables with fingers eyes as best as possible and see if there is any damage or if they are jammed in somewhere...

That should take care of most bad connections you can or cannot see...

 

Thanks for all the great advice, i'll look at that bundle after I get off work tonight. "Ricks Motorcycle Electrics" was mentioned, but thats a pretty generic name to search for. Link?

 

I use these guys for my aftermarket electrics and have good luck with them so far.

So I disconnected my aftermarket front blinkers, and checked all the connections under the seat. My bike is charging now... *bangs head on wall.. On a seperate note, does anyone know where I can find some OEM front blinkers for my Hawk?
