    Ok so how much oil in stator

    Well I burned through another stator after only 1200 miles- I only drained about 3-4 TBS of oil out of the cover and I think it burned because of lack of oil. So what is the amount of oil supposed to be. It worked great and then just died indicative of burned up. Possible clog in there????
    Also whoever wrote the stator papers and the flow chart should get free beer for life.

    If you tip the bike to the left, you will find over 3 quarts of oil there.

    Yep, it's open to the crank case, so there is no set level assigned to the stator.

    There might be a nozzle that sprays oil on the stator, but I don't think that is on all bikes.

    If your stator burned up, cooling it with oil might help, but using a series-type R/R (Polaris or Compufire) will help a lot more.

      Like Steve said, its just bathed by whatever oil is pumped thru the big hole at the top and sloshed around..then back to the sump for recycle. Now just how full the cover gets during normal operation I do not know.

      I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

        Make sure you are not running the motor low on oil
