Anyone try a different Regulator/Rectifier to help reduce stator failures?

I was surprised to hear the Aprilla fries stators worse then the vision.We know of someone who traded his Harley for an Aprilla.

and it's toasted stator is now in an oil bath.

does that mean you have the toasted stator sitting in a pan of oil, or are you somehow dousing the running stator in oil (with a Venture crank bolt, or similar)?

Lucky,
              I mentioned it before but I didn't have as small a drill as you used, about 50% larger diameter, so I made my orifice 50% longer.

ok, i see.  That wasn't me, that was Jason. i think he put the OEM bolt back in though...  worried about a possable loss of oil pressure if i remember correctly.  i wouldn't do it for the same fear...

I would use a standard bolt also. Here in NZ XZ 400's had a reputation for blowing big ends. The problem was tracked down to a small extra oil feed hole (the 550's don't have them and it was likely a design boo boo) that meant not enough oil............

I have just fitted a Shindengen Regulator off a Ducati. I notice with this one the voltage doesn't vary with the rev's.
My current stator is a secondhand unit out of a TransAlp, done a few thou, looking evenly black but not charcoaled, so it will be interesting to see how long it lasts.
