    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.

  • In order to help others find info on a particular bike, be sure to put the year, make or model of bike that you are asking a question about, in the Topic Title. This will allow people to pass by posts they have no interest in.

I have a chance to pick up a '92 Kawasaki Vulcan 750 for cheap, yes the magic word. The owner whom I have known forever tells me the stator is bad and he doesn't want to mess with it.

My question for the forum is: just how much work is involved to change this stator if in fact it does test out as needing replacement?

Thanks in advance for your information,

Larry

Never worked on a vulcan, but I can't imagine it's horrendously different from changing out a GS stator. Although it's probably not a bad stator, it's probably the R/R or battery, or something else in the electrical system.
 
Considering that it's a 23-year-old bike, I think the suggestion of a specific Kaw forum is good for pre-purchase research. A stator could be a fairly standard R & R, but a forum will (collectively) know the quirks and oddities to look for overall, and maybe save you $$$ or steer you from a possible dog.
 
IIRC they weren't difficult to do, much like the GS. The last I saw the stator on one was during an engine rebuild like 12 years ago. That said I can't even remember why I was in the engine. I think another tech had screwed something up.
 
Thanks for the replies guys. I do appreciate your input.
