Stator questions

[89max]

Thanks for all the replies. I have one lined up, hoping to pick it up Sunday. I've already done the crimp fix, had already soldered the stator output wires directly to the r/r input wires and replaced the r/r with a stock one, and have a good battery. I should be good to go with the new stator.

Here's hoping anyhow, its been almost three weeks since I rode last and I'm goin crazy!

Ok, I got the new stator in, soldered the wires to my r/r wires, hooked everything back up, dumped oil back in and fired her up last night. Still not charging. I must be missing something. Is it possible that the r/r has gone bad again? Its only a little over a year old.
Tonight after work I'm gonna recheck connections, measure voltage drop, etc.

I'm going to measure the new stator output before the r/r. I can meter it for AC voltage right? Its been over a month now since I've been able to ride, and I have a big ride planned for 7/31. Looks like I may miss it. I'm so disgusted. I barely slept last night thinking about what it could be.

Follow the charging fault finding guide. It's a sticky in the electrical section.

I already have it printed out. Gonna start going through it tonight after work. Thanks!

I have 1 new late model electrosport RR left in stock. I could get it out quick if you needed it.

The Ricks stators seem to work better than Yamahas its the same part number for the Vmax or Venture. I can get them for $ 125 plus shipping & the new stlye RR's for $ 68 bucks. The holiday will slow down my ordering a bit just PM me if I can help you. Thanks,Kyle

That's a good price Kyle. I paid a lot more for a late 90's RR. But, problems are gone so i'm a happy camper. 13.45 at idle with fan on. Crimp fix done,connectors and grounds cleaned, new cheapo sealed batt (on 3rd season)$56,original stator. In cold weather I use electric gloves with no problems.12 volt recepticle for cell phone. No issues with charging even with add ons.

Just thought I would update this. I got a spare r/r from Bill Kratzenberg, through it in and all is well. I also ran a new ground wire from the r/r to the frame and a new charging wire straight to the battery. Its better now than its ever been.
This winter I plan on upgrading to the newer style r/r. And also probably a vrod headlight, after seeing Bill's, and since my hid quit this morning. One thing after the other I guess.
Tomorrow is the big ride I was talking about. Should be about 400 miles round trip, so it'll be a good test of all the things I've done lately. Hope it all passes the test!
Later all!
