        And how hot do you think that stator was to burn the oil?

        400 degF??? Or more ?

            I sure don't know but I did wonder why my oil would look so bad so quickly. I was also wondering how long it would take to get that bad. It's not the original stator but was in when I bought the bike two years and three thousand miles ago.

                    I thought it might be peanut butter, as mentioned above.

                            That's pretty funny right there. Seems like a lot of work to avoid buying a better part.
