Crispy stator.

Another stator fails. It appears to be a definate weak point in the vfr 800 :-(

 

Now post a picture 0f the three pin connector.

 

Ohhh, that's extra crispy! Nice.

 

+1 on this, been quiet on the burnt alternator stuff of late, haven't heard about one for at least a week

 

New stator fitted and working. Very slight ticking noise when.running coming from that casing but all inside was correct size and clear so not sure weather to take off again??

 

If that noise is new then I would definitely open it up again to investigate - as it suggests something is not right, and could be expensive if you don't find and fix the cause. Once it is open, get a decent flashlight and examine for any signs of scraping on all moving components. Check everything is seated correctly, and none of the bolts are loose, then check the correct routing and placement of the yellow wires and rubber seal. If you are lucky the gasket will not have been baked on by engine heat and will separate OK without needing to replace it.

Thanks Skimad I will do that

 

FYI: it's not the stator that is faulty as much as the CONNECTORS. Loose connections are what causes the stator to fry in the first place. I would DILIGENTLY check all connectors (cut out & solder are best option) & make sure they are good & tight & install a voltmeter to keep an eye on things. Good time to do "The Drill" as well.

 

The drill???

 

Read this entire thread but pay attention to post #9 in particular:

Problem found. :-o 5mm Allen key bit from my socket set.

 

Problem found. :-o 5mm Allen key bit from my socket set.. Fell out when I opened the case. Could have been disastrous!!!!

 

Haha glad you listen to Skimad otherwise :kaboom:
Now go ride her :thumb:

 

Yes deffo. Love this forum ;-)

 

What brand of Stator did you use as replacement? Did you replace R/R as well? Curious because i'm doing the same thing. Bought a Procom (electrosport) stator and am waiting for delivery. I also bought a cheap Chinese R/R from ebay but it sounds like the Yamaha R1 R/R is the better choice.

 

Didn't need an R/R already had a new one fitted when.I bought it. I purchased an electeosport one also )

 

You don't need an R/R how do you know every chance a fried stator like that took the R/R out again. As you seem to be avoiding the question I will ask again, have you removed the connector and soldered and heatshrunk the yellow wires, if not you will head down the same path again, gets expensive after a couple of goes

 

Norm,

I just bought a Super Mosfet from roadstercycle to go along with my new stator. I think you have convinced me to solder and heat shrink the connections from stator to R/R. Thanks

 

Tested the R/R with a meter as instructed and all readings where ok. No need to replace.

 

Glad you got it sorted.

If you want to keep an eye on the electrics - you might consider fitting a cheap volt meter from eBay.

Otherwise step away from the toolbox and take that VFR for a ride!
