    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.

got the bike home and removed the stator cover today. the piece that holds the wires down so the basket doesnt rub them was off and thrashing aroun in the cover. also 2 of the wires were cut in half. if i would have only put thread lock on the screw i prolly wouldnt have had any problem. tried to splice wires back together without sucess bike is still not charging. looks like ill be buyin another electrosport. guess it could have been worse !!! once i get the bike chargin im gonna ride the wheels off of her this year. last year i didnt even but the tags, played too much golf. she still looks and runs great. its been 5 years since i did the the bandit gsxr conversion and i wouldnt have any other bike !!!

I did something similar. I didn't pay attention to wire routing when I pulled the old stator off, and I routed the wires out the top of the stator, instead of the bottom. :oops: I only bumped the engine over maybe 1-2 revolutions with the starter, but it was enough to chew through the wires. I desoldered the wires from the copper stator coils, and soldered on new leads. So far it's passed an OHM meter test for continuity, but I haven't had the bike running in a while, but I'm sure it's all ok-dokey. Post a pic of the damage to your stator, it very well may be salvageable. 10-15 bucks for new wire is a lot cheaper than 100 for a whole new unit.
 
i just took off the exhaust for pics but yes if you run the header uncapped it is plenty loud
