electro sport stator

I got a new stator and I'm just getting around to looking at it and I'm confused. There are 5 wires coming from it and my old one only has 3 wires. Did I get the wrong part?
 
Yes!
If you're talking about your 1100 it should have three wires.
I have an electrosport on my 1150.
 
Post some photos. Maybe two of the wires are redundant?
 
This question came up recently, and if I recall, there were a couple of extra ends that went to the same wire within the shrink wrapped wire bundle...ill look for it when I get a minute.....
 
I know there is a thread around here somewhere that tells me how to wire the Polaris r/r to my GS1100 but I cant seem to find it. I see on my old one that I have 5 wires, one going directly to the frame as a ground, and on the new r/r there are a total of 5 connections, 2 black and 3 red. I am guessing the ground goes to one of the black connections and the three stator wires all tie into the red connections but what is the other black connection going to? Any help is appreciated.

This is the new one

On another note, should I solder leads to the r/r or will blade terminal connectors work? I figure these connections probably see a lot of heat so I am not sure what is best
 
DON'T solder leads directly to the R/R's lugs...By the time you get them hot enough, you could be damaging internal parts.The thing is engineered to get rid of heat, after all.
If you want to put a bit of solder on the blade connectors, there's a good example I just saw here by Wizard on this thread http://www.thegsresources.com/_forum/showpost.php?p=1958160&postcount=19

It is possible to solder directly to the r/r spades. I debated this when installing a FET R/R some time back and it did work.

I pushed over (about 30 degrees) each of 5 spades on the inside of the connector housing and drilled each one to accept the wire to be soldered.

I then stripped back the wire end insulation, bent them into a little S bend so they would conform better to the spade and inserted the bare end into the drilled holes.

You are correct the spades will need a lot of heat but it is unlikely to damage the R/R. You will need to put a quality soldering iorn on high heat though ;).

straightening the spades again and filling with some RTV as Nisssim has shown would work also. This avoids that huge connector that you would otherwise need. I my case I thing I even cut down the large connector housing; I dont remember if that was needed to get at the spades or not but it seems like it was the only way to get the r/r to fit into the stock location.
 
"holes in the lugs"...that's a good tip. Me, I am thrice-bit, forevermore-shy but I would just chop all or most of the plastic shrouding away as useless were I to solder on. I just don't have enough trouble with lugs to go this route and make my clumsy mess.
"Quality soldering iron" haha. would that be the Radio-Shack $8 unit or the so-called "soldering tip" on a propane torch? Or the Weller Portable Butane one I have that sets fire to everything around it? or the other Propane one I have that isn't hot enough if the room temperature is below 65f/20c Or the old Weller pistol grip that burns out :)
 
I apologize for asking again but I still am not understanding the wiring. It doesnt help that I am completely colorblind either :(

I see how to hook it up and I have some connectors that will work and I think I can fit it in the stock location by cutting down the plastic connector housings but I am just not sure about the connections. Does it matter which wire from the stator goes where in relation to the blades in the red plug? What about the black plug?

Soldering to the spades is not the best option but if it keeps from having to mount the R/R on the handlebars as it wont fit anywhere else then it is an option. :o
 
I'm actually looking at this with some rested (sober) eyes now and I'm even more confused. I wonder if this was even hooked up right to begin with. I have two stator wires going to the old r/r attaching to a yellow wire and a white/blue wire on the old r/r. I have another station wire going to a green/white wire that goes back into the wiring harness. From the old r/r there is a black wire going to ground, a white/red wire going to harness and a solid red going into harness. Any ideas?
