Dan Boy Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 (edited) So I am not charging. I check the Ohm Reading from between the three yellow wires from the Stator and got 6.4 Ohm each time. Is my Stator totally fried? Thanks, Dan. Edited May 12, 2018 by Dan Boy Fixed the problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finnerz89 Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Do you have a manual? It will tell you what the resistances should be. I wouldn't call 6.4ohms a high reading though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Boy Posted May 9, 2018 Author Share Posted May 9, 2018 Oh ok, I figured it was a high reading because the manual says it should be 0.48 Ohms +/- 10% at 20*C (68*F) Dan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finnerz89 Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Right OK then it is high. Much higher than it should be it seems. Does the bike run? If so you can check the voltage (carefully) on these wires. It will be AC at that point. The only other thing to do is whip the cover off and check the windings to see if they're burnt up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Boy Posted May 10, 2018 Author Share Posted May 10, 2018 OK I can do that. Would I expect to see 13-14 volts ac between each pair od wires? I did visually check the Stator and it looked OK. Just a little dirt but not burnt or cracked. Dan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finnerz89 Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 No it should be much higher, 60v AC up to around 80. May well vary with engine rpm. Measure between the 3 yellow wires again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Boy Posted May 10, 2018 Author Share Posted May 10, 2018 Thanks, will do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Boy Posted May 10, 2018 Author Share Posted May 10, 2018 OK, so with the engine running I get zero volts from between the three yellow wires. I guess that does confirm that the stator is dead, right? Dan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finnerz89 Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 It certainly does 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Boy Posted May 11, 2018 Author Share Posted May 11, 2018 OK, thanks for your help. Does anyone know a cross reference site so I can see what other bikes that Stator was fitted to to increase my chances of finding one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Boy Posted May 12, 2018 Author Share Posted May 12, 2018 Just wanted to come back and report that the charging problem has now been resolved without buying a single part. Turns out the field coil wasn't being energised due to a broken wire. Thanks for the help anyway, Dan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
