Tested 3 terminals, ab bc cd.. all had 0.3 ohms resistance with no short to ground on either wire. Any other tests? My bike wasn't charging last year so I parked it due to other issues I'm fixing as we speak.. thanks all. Might just buy another stator as I can smell the smell of burnt wiring on the plug end. Prob toast but
 
Yeah I think I did last year.. don't remember what the reading was. Motor is still apart so I can't run it yet.
 
I may have an extra stator in the garage. New OE ones from St Paul are $150-ish.

I’d make you a deal on mine, but you’ll have to buy new stator bolts. I think they are available from Harley on the cheap.
2004-up Sportster (pn 3029)

I hate taking the primary crank nut off unless I really have to, so my inclination would be to test for ac voltage output first before removing the stator. My UNWANTED ADVICE. Lol
 
Yeah I'd just loctite old bolts an run it

Just remember if one does break, you need to dump the fluid, pull the primary back off, hope the bolt doesnt break the magnets off of the rotor, hope the debris doesnt get into the transmission, hope the stator doesnt short and kill the rectifier.

But you would save $.86/bolt... and you'd need 4 of them. So, yeah... I see your point.
 
Lmao. Why would the bolts break it's a stationary part? Snug with loctite will be more than sufficient. I doubt they need 200 lb ft of torque applied to them
 
Alright 34 I'll order new stator bolts. How much for your stator? How many miles on it?

Dont do it on my accord. I'm just putting it out there what my experience has been with these bolts. Even when you buy aftermarket stators (Cycle Electric and Drag Specialties), they come with replacement bolts. Since the bolts also fit Sportsters and Harley calls to replace them, I'd be willing to bet the dealer stocks them. But its your call, and I wont fault you for reusing the bolts. I'll have to look for the stator when I get home, but if its from the motor I think it is from, the mileage is about 6-8K, from what I was told.



And I'll also admit, I dont replace all bolts like the manual specifies (like the front brake rotor bolts or rear sprocket bolts). I give them a careful cleaning and inspection... and if everything looks good I'll reuse them.
