Intruders-Alert

Does this look burnt up? The coating is good. Wires are not broken.

It does sit in oil. it may just be discolored, just my opinion.
Check the AC output and the connector under the seat for burnt wires or melted connectors.

Thanks Navigator.

A quick check is continuity between the 3 wires, and no continuity to ground on any of them. If those 2 things check out, the stator is good.

Looks perfect.

Warning When you replace the stator (your picture is stator coils) be very carefull to check the magnetic stator has not picked up a bolt or even a small nut or screw, Catastrophe is the result.

The stator is not magnetic, the rotor is the magnet.

True, but the stator can build up a small magnetic field, enough to hold very small bits; also, the two timing pickup coils can do the same, so make sure the inside of that whole chamber is clear of metal bits.

I suppose it is possible, but I have never seen it.

I have changed out, at least, 6 stators, on a number of different bikes. NEVER had any magnetism on a stator. I have changed 3 on my 2 1400s, and never found any magnetism on the stator or the pickups.

As for keeping it clean and free of debris, that is a given with anything that is being put back together.

The coils are not magnetic but the rotor is ---it has magnets in it.... This is how electricity is made my rotating magnets over coils of wire

Put the rotor on the floor and you will pick up pliers let alone a nut or two.

Wether the rotor over coils or coils over rotor, all electricity on this planet is the same.

Can you explain static electricity and lightning strikes to me?

Can you explain static electricity and lightning strikes to me?

They are basically the same thing, both are types of static electricity which is caused by friction between different objects. This friction causes the movement of electrons from one object to the other, until the charge builds up to a point it can jump to an object with a lower electrical charge.

Lightning from a clear sky is caused by the movement of air currents of 2 different temperatures of air, usually in cloud formations. The warm moist air rises to the colder air and as it mixes the molecules rub on each other creating a static charge. While strikes sometimes do seem to happen out of clear sky, the clouds/storm can be many miles away.

When I lived in coastal NC we used to see lightning in clear sky and later the storm would move in. While reading on this I read that lightning can strike more than 20 miles from the place it is generated (I don't remember the exact distance but it was over 20 miles).

When I was on a aircraft refuel team we had to stop refueling when there was lightning 5 miles away. After reading about the 20+ mile range, anytime I could hear thunder, I wanted them to shut the fuel pits down. Working around a piping system of 8 inch pipes, full of JP 4, with lightning in the area is SCARY as hell.

A tracer goes up into the sky before the static tracks down it. No ship can be damaged at sea as it is earthed to the sea along with any steel structure with anything in it.

OK, Got it, ....so no coils or magnets heh?
