Feeling lucky? -
I take it from your answer that i redo the stator bolts with 242 locktite..my luck hasn't been very good lately .I can see a lot of damage being done if one of those bolts shake loose..better safe than sorryComment

Bolts are known to both come loose and to sheer. I have used the blue locktite and I alway use a Qtip and brake cleaner to clean threads.Originally posted by Peter opaski View PostComment

From personal experience, please pull the bolts and put loc-tite on themCowboy Up or Quit. - Run Free Lou and Rest in Peace

Suzuki used stator insulating varnish to lock the stator screws. Use the better Locktite. When you need to do it again if ever, I have found that sandbags with a towel in between to prevent scratching is the perfect place to hold the stator cover. It molds to the cover, but doesn't give so an impact tool works perfectly to break the screws loose again.'78 GS1000E, Dyna-S ignition, Dyna Green Coils, K&N pods, Delkevic SS 4-1 exhaust, Dynojet Stage 3 jet kit, Russell SS Brake Lines, Progressive suspension, Compu-Fire series Regulator 55402 and Advmonster cree LED headlight conversion.

I know this won't help, but I did the exact same thing two years ago, and had to pull the cover again for that reason. I swapped in allen head cap screw fasteners at the same time.and God said, "Let there be air compressors!"
