I've got the case apart ...and the stator seems to look ok....... I can see the coppery look at all the ends clearly.... and nothing seems melty. I havent done the tests yet..... but I'm sure it would pass........ as it worked fine last I rode. But with all the stator problem hype I"m scared. I know Lucky recommends replacing stator and r/r to avoid tearing apart case again but very expensive. Dont the stators go bad at about 7000mi. or is it more about the corrosion factor at cons. I guess I'm just looking for so reassurance again. Why do i get the feeling it will go bad as soon as I get it back together? Advice Please ....so I have someone to blame besides myself.......just kidding :D :D :D
If it doesn't look black and crispy/charred, and it passes the continuity test, declare victory and reassemble. It's not expensive to r and r a stator (excepting the cost of the new stator). It's just kind of a pain in the butt.
:)...and while you have the cover off, check your starter clutch bolt's...are they backing out... ??? Have they been peened over... ???
