I've gotten deeper into my replacement vision and found that the stator is dead. So I removed the left case from the blue bike and checked it out. Found that the ballancer nut was loose and that my old stator wasn't long for this world! Today rounded up the essentials to rewind my own . I found a wire that is rated at 200.f and the motor rewinder I talked to, said its manditory to encapsulate the windings in epoxy. I found a 600.f epoxy to use. I'm about half way through putting this one back togeather. I'll keep you all posted!
Actually the wire is rated at 200C, sorry about that!
are you gonna give us a step by step as to how you got parts and how you did the job? It is interesting to see how others do it. I have several step by steps so far and I will take ALL I can get.. thanks! 8)
Actually , Steelviper 383 and D.T. have done this befor and I'm basing my work on theirs. But, I will report and what I do and what is used to do it. I'm not sure this project is suitable for a novice,, but your milage may vary!
Today, with the help of my son-in-law Rick, we installed the tapered rollers in the front end, that I never got around to installing in the previous bike. The MACs arrived friday so we put those on too! I've started sanding and applying primer to some of the plastic , the tank is already POR15'd so I'm going to fix a couple of small dents with Bondo. I'm hoping to get started on the Stator rebuild this week too.
