Charging....oh no

[Jclevesque]

Well got up early to take a nice coastal ride but was cut short. On my way out of town glanced at my voltmeter and saw 12.3v. Turned around and got home. Went thru this test sequence and found stator grounded. Readings are same grounded as 3 readings on each pin not grounded. Can someone confirm what I am seeing is correct that stator is grounded and will need replacing? Got a fully charged battery 3000rpm holds around 12.3 or so. Getting power to reg/rec all connections been cleaned. thanks JC

If you get a stator get an oem Yamaha stator not a Rick's stator

Thats the plan. No aftermarket stuff for charging will be on my bike. Gonna check availabilty and may even upgrade to an 05 but will need to change reg/rec too.

Man minimum 8 week backorder on stators here. Found one on fleabay near half what local Yamaha wants. And that is even after shipping and exchange. Opted for the 99-04 stator. 05-07 was near as much $, 05-07 reg/rec on 8 week backorder. If the new one can last as long as my old one (97000kms) I should be good for a while! Lol

Just installed my new stator and what a pain removing that gasket wow. 2hrs but all done. Glad it is back charging.

You made short work of that project.

Where do I call to order an OEM stator and rectifier ? When I check reviews for local Yamaha shops, I just don't feel good about trusting them for much of anything.

Bike is an 04, 1700 Silverado.
