    Kat stator and charging system questions

    I have a 82 GS1000S rotor, stator and stator engine cover. What year GS1100 motors will this fit? I will be doing a track day on my GS1100. I know it has charging system issues. Stator is good and I want to keep it that way. Did no more checking because the charging system will be updated properly in due time. In the day, we ran with no rotor or stator to save weight. I do not want to pull the stator or rotor. Can I just unplug the stator and run the bike total loss? We ran 12v moped batteries for 60 miles back in the day with no issues. Thoughts?

      Can't think of a reason you can't run total loss. Seems to me that the generator will be consuming power though.

          Not sure you'd save much in power since the rotating mass will be the same. You might save a little as the generator will not be producing any current so no EMF, but make darn sure you protect the end of the stator wires. They have about 80VAC on the ends with the RPMs up.

          Darn, with so many daily riders it's hard to decide which one to jump on next.;)

              twice that at 10K RPM (160VAC)
