    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.

Dislodged stator rotor- 1977 GS750

Looking for some advice and to see if anyone has had a similar issue. I have a 1977 GS750 that now, for the 4th time, has had the stator rotor come unpressed from the crank stub and backed the bolt out. There is no key way or splines for the rotor to grip the crank stub, only a tapered press fit. I have used lock tight and the bolt comes factory with a lock washer but neither one prevents the bolt from backing out. I'm assuming that the rotor is free spinning on the crank stub on heavy acceleration or deceleration/engine braking causing the bolt to back out. I'm temped to have a mobile welder come out and put a couple tack welds on to hold the two together. Any thoughts or experience on my situation?
 
get some valve lapping compound and work the rotor back and forth to get a better mating surface
 
As the other post says some fine grinding paste and lapping the two surfaces to get a better fit, there is a very good product that Loctite makes called 660 quick metal that is made to solve the problem you have, clean the lapped surfaces thourerly coat the surfaces with the product tighten as normal do not start the bike and leave for 24 hours. It is not cheap but is an excellent product.
 
Make sure you are also using red Loctite on the bolt (number 9 in this picture) that secures everything in place.
