      What he said, I did that and found a new Ricks Stator for my 85 GS700ES that was orig meant for an 83-86 GS550 new in the box at a local parts place for 79.99. Bought it off ebay from them and went and picked it up. charges great now

        Or rewind yours for about $30 in parts and a solid afternoon's work. Nero put up a good thread about it, and I just successfully did mine this week, too.

          Hi Mr. 85gs550ef,

          Unfortunately, Electrosport seems to be temporarily out of stock for this item, but there are other sources. Here is their list of compatible stators:

            Also if you lost the stator you might want to look at replacing your regulator/rectifier as it may have fried. Was the battery getting too much voltage or not enough? Not enough points to a stator problem, too much points to an R/R issue. OEM replacement R/R units will work for a while and are good enough but I've bought and used a GSXR (99 - 2003) R/R on my 550E for a number of years now.

            Also Nerobro's hand rewound stator works awesome in his bike. Just pay attention to the connection points and wrap direction.
