Epic Stator Failure

[SqDancerLynn1]

You have had terrible luck with the stator. I'm still on the original stator w/ honda reg !!!! 46K miles, 20K honda reg..
that's one crispy critter

Any chance she was running a bit low on oil for any time? Heard that helps to cook stators.

Hi Dan,

I check the oil level every day before I ride. But there was so little oil in the stator cover I'm starting to wonder if I've got a blockage somewhere. There was only a couple of tablespoons of oil in the cover when I disassembled last night.

Maybe I'll try the old "Seafoam in the oil" trick just before my next oil change.


Thank you for your indulgence,

Hi Jim,

The part of my stator that was really cooked was the lower part, the part that I thought would be bathed in oil more than the upper half. But the whole thing was pretty much burned black. I'm really hoping this Rick's part will last a while. I've been going through a stator a year since I've owned this bike.

Stator problems, me too?

My GS1100G is not recharging it's battery this year, and I did a "no load test" of the stator leads. Not showing the recommended 75 ACV.
I am also considering the Ricks Motorsport Electrics Stator from Ebay.
Glad to hear somebody else is willing to try it. Electrosport is out of stock for the GS1100G stators, but they were $20 less.
Does anybody have a long term report for the Ricks stator?

Hi Bill,

Well, I've gone three days and about 75 miles now with no problems.
