stator

So how important are the stator cover dowel pins? I think the OP might have lost one and filled it in with gasket material or something. This is assuming that I didn't lose it somewhere, but I was pretty careful. I seem to be missing the one closer to the middle gear cover. There was a ton of...

I am new. Great site, been doing alot of reading. My question is about measuring the AC voltage at the stator. I have read that you can measure this voltage by measuring across 2 white wires, and also that you can measure it by the red lead on a white wire, and the black lead on ground. If...

Hi, I'm troubleshooting a chargin issue . I don't get more than 12.6 V when I rev the engine. I checked the rectifire and it checked ok. That would leave the stator. The resistance check within spec. but have continutity between the leads and ground. Was wondering if that's normal. The...

I hope some one can help me. I have an 85. Recently my battery stopped charging. I am only getting 11.9 V at 2500 RPM. I have a spare Stator and Regulator which I am in the process of installing. How ever when I went to remove the regulator I noticed that there was no wire connector, the wires...

Just beginning to solve the problems with my new 1986 Max. Tests using the tutorial on this site indicate I probably need a new stator. Yamaha parts online wants 450 for one but there are a lot of them for around 125 on ebay. anybody bought a stator or other new electrical parts from E-Bay...

Looking for opinions. Bike looks to be draining the battery when it heats up and the fan comes on. When at a light and the fan switches on the idle starts to falter. When I simulate it in the garage ( let the bike run to warm and the fan kicks in) with a multi-meter on the battery it clearly...

questions is when checking the voltage from the stator (3 white wires) do you test wire to wire? and what should the output A/C voltage be on each leg? Anyone know this? I though I read something here a while back but I cant seem to find it now. Any info or a link to what Im looking for would be...

I've been noticing a gradual voltage drop on the Roadie, using the Kuryakyn voltmeter (LED's). I started poking around, looking for a burnt regulator connector like my Max did many years ago. No such luck. I checked the 3-phase AC out of the stator, and got 48v, 48v, and 24v! Looks like the...

So, does anyone know if the Vmax stator is arranged in the wye or delta configuration? Some wiring diagrams have a symbol that would imply it is a wye, but that could just be an outdated symbol. I reading around on stators (since mine might be toast) and found the thread on advrider that Buster...

So I have my wiring all pulled out since I'm replacing my battery, and I notice the rectifier to stator plug looks a little gunky. So, I pull it apart to to clean it up.....: As you can see obviously one of the connectors got extremely hot and melted the plug. You Can see it melted a hole...

Just wondering if they are the same and interchangeable. Don't care about the outside cover as I ll cut it off anyways to make a clear cover. Thanks Todd

OK, went through all the steps in the troubleshooting thread for charging system. Everything good until testing the 3 wires from stator to reg/rec, all 3 supposed to read about .5 on the ohm meter, instead showing 2.3, 2.4, and 2.9, so stator is shorted. Where do I go for a replacement, and is...

Finally getting around to changing over to the higher output stator, (thanks CaptainKyle). The side cover came off no problem despite having to juggle the gears that wanted to come along for the ride. The ******* screws put up a hell of a fight :bang head: due to their being installed with the...

My first post after 2 years......I have a 2004 vmax. I have a low voltage problem and I am hoping that I can get some advice. I have used my meter to try and get a sense whether I need a regulator or a stator and I can't get clear readings. Here's what I can tell you for sure. My battery is...

Hey all, I ordered a set of new covers form Python today. I am planning on doing a valve adjustment later this month and figured I might as well change these at the same time. Do either one have a gasket that will need replaced? Thanks.

I have to get the front pulley off the motor to do the starter bolts. I bought one of those 3 bolt pullers, and broke it. The next one I bent the bolt. I've got a better one now. I still couldn't get it off. The last thing I did was heat the centre of the pulley up to about 330'C, 540'F. Then...

Well let me start off by offering a big thank you to the members of this forum. This forum is better than my Yamaha Service Manual any day. That being said, I was having charging issues and found out it was a bad stator. By the way, the resistance check looked fine but the A.C. output was low on...

Hi folks: Question re. reattaching the pickup units that mount around the stator: The screws that Yamaha uses to attach these pickup units appear to be crappy soft metal (SO soft that I broke one of those screws while backing it out from the crankcase cover!) So, my question is this: Is...

I have acquired a replacement for the plug in connector at the stator (generator, alternator, magneto etc.) These are a direct replacement for what is on the 1st gen bike from the factory. General recommendation is to eliminate this connection, I am aware of that. However, I prefer to have...

I had a oil leak on my 1992, so I replaced the gasket on the stator side cover. I put the cover back on, and I don't know if I bent a bracket or put the pick up on wrong, but I broke the pick up assembly when I tried to start the bike. Now the bike has no spark. I checked with a dealership, and...
