08 or 09 Stator - biting the bullet....

[Kdf0351]

OK, so another question. I called an HD dealership, and they have access to both the 08 & 09 Stator. I had an 09 Stator installed about 1500 miles ago, which is working, but I am going to get the EBR rotor mod, and thought it would probably be best to also get a Stator to put in at the time of installation. Concensus seems to be to go with the 08 stator from what I read from members, and if I do this what if any difference should i expect from the lower voltage output. Is this the way to go (08 stator) or am I overdoing it? The thing is DAMN expensive - $713.52 + tax....OUCH!

08 stator will not fit in a 09 rotor but im told EBR rotor will save us all[smirk]Hoping

I thought the rotor was just modified to allow oil to spray on the stator. If this is the case & the 08 stator does not fit, how would the EBR mod work? I thought they were built from the cores they get.

Or you must use an 09 stator?

The 08 stator has a small diameter. The magnets have to be close. Theres just to much distance between the two. Plus the phases will not line up. Very important.

Bottom line if you have the 09 stator the oil mod should work.

 

[Kdf0351]

Should I replace it with a new one when the mod goes in, or do you believe I should move forward with the one with 1500mi on it? Will it make a difference?

 

[c818919]

It could...depends on how much or if its even damaged. I have one to replace mine with when i change if i do.....i live in alaska so the temps here arent bad plus i dont sit at lights.
Id say no.....if you add the new rotor soon.
