    Stator noise

    I just installed a new stator on my bike and i have everything hooked up correctly. when i drive the bike i hear a whining sound whenever i accelerate. is this normal? the last stator i had was bad and it wouldn't charge my battery which is the reason why i changed it. i have a 1982 GS 550L

      Stators don't make a sound
      Big T may be on to something. If you don't install the starter gear properly the starter will spin with the motor.
      This is bad

        don't pull off stator cover yet..

        pull out your starter motor and re-seat it. Bolt it back down, try to crank her (won't start as carbs will be pulled out/up (atleast they have to be on my 650 to access the starter motor...if same sound once running you probably ought to pull stator cover off for a look...

          Greetings and Salutations!!

          Hi Mr. wjliic,

          Is the stator properly seated in the cover? It's not rubbing against the rotor? I hope not. Is the stator wire properly seated under the wire cover? It's the narrow plate being held by the screw at the bottom of the picture...
