GS850 stator thickness question

[posplayr]

I don't think alignment is an issue. Certainly not as much as the simple fact that it's smaller.

Now that the bike is running, I am noticing that the voltmeter sits right near 12 at idle. Yeah, it goes up to 14 when the engine speed goes up, but the stator that came out pumped out about 13 volts at the same idle speed.

Have not yet checked full capacity by loading it down to see if it does any better.

Sounds like the Power increase is 10% marketing and 90% bull.

It's not only the# of winding turns, the longer pole thickness produces stronger magnetic field on those turns.

I guess I will have to send a reply asking what was done to achieve a "more powerful winding".

They whipped the pixies harder.

Or... they got a shipload of GS500 stators in from Shanghai.
