MkII stator said goodbye

[ushirlo]

74000km - the original stator died..
after two days of bump starting the bike, i changed the 5-year-old battery (11.6v)....
put a new one....measured voltage.... 12.6v off, 12.2v ignition on.....12.2v at whatever rpm.....
the connectivity test failed on all three poles.....

what kind of stator to buy....that is the question....
50€ from aliexpres, 100€ JMP/MTP-Racing , 200€ electrosport or 500€ honda....

[ushirlo]

i ordered the 100€ one.....
in the meantime, i keep one battery on the charger while i drive with the other..... so far it works......
and i disconnected the headlight fuse.....

12.8v battery...
12.3 ignition on.....
13.9 on 2000rpm.....
14.3 on 4000rpm....

That's a classic failed stator you have there with three toasted coil windings shorting to chassis ground at the output cable. Middle for diddle seems like a good call for the replacement and it's a simple job the average 7 year old girl could do at the kerb side without breaking a finger nail. You'll now be wondering what all the stator fuss and hype is about. My second stator failed at 58,402 miles last November and I too opted for JMP's offering of their £99 stator (part number 7001810, might be a different number for the SC64) ordered from Brooks Barn on a Friday, delivered and fitted on a Sunday in 1½ hours which included removal of rear rack to access the stator/RR connector, displacing the Heed engine bars to access the stator cover and a tea break. I've put 5,000 miles on that JMP stator now and it's doing what it does keeping the battery topped up with similar numbers to yours.

Happy days
