You'll need to post photos, but most stators come good to go. Some bikes you have to run the wires through the rubber grommets and put the connectors on the end, but I haven't seen one for a GS like that. I've used the goodentight method, without fail so far, but I'm sure there is a torque spec in your manual.

its a caltric stator ,here is a pic of tie wraps stator.jpg where the wires attach

Bad design to use nylon tie wraps. Over time the nylon ties will get brittle and break, leaving debris in your engine. Most use cord to tie the wires in place. The cord stays put and doesn't harden.

so what should I do ? leave on or cut off ?anybody else used the caltric stator if so what did u do? im replacing right now thanks

If it were me, I'd replace the tie wraps with braided nylon cord.

Leave the tiewraps alone and install. Be sure to bypass the factory harness and feed the stator wires directly into the R/R. The factory harness has some major limitations so don't just plug the stator like it was before.

ok thanks ,already have it wired straight to r/r .thanks again

That stator looks like a replaceable wear item.........

interesting. According to wikipedia The melting point of nylon starts at 190 celsius but there are plenty of options for material. which are these, I wonder.

I think the concern is the stuff gets hot, hardens, gets brittle and breaks.

That would be my concern.
