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

Did you check for AC output? Check the plugs to make sure the theyre not burnt/corroded/damaged.
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.

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

The manual says too:

IMO, not necessary but no one asked for my advise.:sorrow:

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.
No, the only require a minimal amount of torque. Its actually a very small number, like 25-30 in/lbs. But I have broken these bolts on removal.
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.
