Just got my V running, titled, and insured!! Runs great. One more vision on the roads of WI! Also I bought back a V that I sold to one of the guys I work with for $300. Nice score but the stator just went out on that bike. Yamaha wants like $425 for a new one, any other opptions?
You have several sources for stators. Rick's Motorsport Electrics, Electrosport, RM Stator & Tim Parrott are the most common. Try an eBay search for Yamaha Vision stator. You will find the ones from Tim Parrot (cheapest & in the normal auction list) and RM Stator (in the 'Buy It Now' section) there. Otherwise, it's www.electrosport.com (http://www.electrosport.com) or www.ricksmotorsportelectrics.com/index.php?ch=stators (http://www.ricksmotorsportelectrics.com/index.php?ch=stators). I've tried them all & still get only 1000 miles per stator. Price ranges from $70 + shipping for the Tim Parrott to about $150 for the Electrosport.
Good luck!

don't let H2O's 1000m/stator scare you, that's not typical
Quite true. If this one dies soon, I'll be doing the flywheel swap. That's the last part I haven't changed.
Anyway, I find that all the stators I mentioned seem to have excellent output. I am in no position to recommend one over another.
Another option is a Virago stator - used on eBay. Several folks here run them & find they work well. Perhaps one of them will chime in with the correct Virago years & model.

Don't let H20 scare you! I figure he's just not holding his mouth right. ;D ;D :D :D ;)
