if you rewind a crap stator, you are gonna get a crap stator. you just have to redesign it out of a non conducting core, or use an heavy epoxy that is 1/2 an inch thick. then i called ricks and examined theirs, and guess what they already did. and for ~140 to my hot little hands it was really easy. rewinding a stator takes 8 hours the first time you do it.



You know you are a Yamaha vision owner when you start laughing over a sight pun


You know you are a Yamaha vision owner when you notice how Yamaha is readable backwards in the rear view mirror of your truck wile you tow her home


You know you are a Motorcycle owner when you have explained to your significant other that you are actually in love with the bike and she is just your mistress

You know that you own a vision when she wouldn't have it any other way

You know you are a vision owner when you get M/E credit for making a fuel injection system

You know you are a Yamaha vision owner when you get distracted at the pump by a vision fan when you over fill the tank and it starts pissing gas for 5 min

You know He was a Yamaha vision owner when he laughs and says he dosent miss that part!


You know you are a Yamaha vision owner when you have thought about keeping a tube of rtv, a 5mm allen key and a spare stator in your bike tool kit


You know you are a Yamaha vision owner when the parts guy starts to cry when you walk through the door

Gee i wish i could rewind *MY* stator. That might be a fun project.

Anyway. More stator stuff:

Have you researched any electrical theory? You know, they dont make armature cores out of iron or steel for fun, it's for a reason, i'll let you find out why :)
