    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

:mad: This sux!!! Stator bad (only 20 volts comin from gen) but when I took cover off, had oil under cover. Is this normal? Probly a stupid question (was normal for my hondas) but I'm one of those people who think the only stupid question is the one not asked!
 
Yep, normal.

Get a new stator, check/clean all the connections, and test the R/R replace if needed. While you are in there, I would buy the $2 o-ring for the starter nose when you purchase a gasket for the stator cover. This o-ring should keep you asking about the "mystery hole" in the future.

Also, on the 700 the wires from the stator will connect up under the tank, and those three wires travel down the wiring harness to the R/R. If wanting to "keep it as stock" be sure to clean and grease the connectors. Or, another route just eliminate the extra set of connectors and wire directly to the R/R.

Hi Mr. 700eruss,

Yes, a little oil in the stator cavity is normal. There is a fine troubleshooting flowchart in The Stator Papers with extra information on my website in the "Electrical Odds and Ends" section. Make sure all of your electrical connections and grounds are clean on the entire bike, ignition switch, fusebox, everything. Your bike will love you for it. :)

Anyway, I just stopped by to welcome you to the forum in my own, special way.
