Hi, I have rebuilt this XT660r after I received it in a generally poor condition. I've now got it all back together but ten I connect the battery only the indicators, horn and lights work and I have these lights on on the dash. Can anyone help please? Thanks, Daniel. https://photos.app.goo.gl/SSQvoX82F9gCKnL37

Hi, just working on my XT660r...have some questions!

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.

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?

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.

Thanks, will do.

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.

I agree with the above. I have welded nuts to knackered exhaust studs to get them out. If you don't have a welder maybe you have a friend who does. Dan.

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.

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.

I am in need of a .25 oversize piston kit. Can anyone suggest where these can be obtained. I'm having no luck finding some. Pattern I guess as Yamaha don't make them anymore. Thanks, Dan

I have a 1977 xs 750 and I do not have the final drive dipstick. I have tried to get one but I wondered if anyone had that they could measure for me and I will make one. Cheers Daniel.
