Stator Repair - 4 of 9 - Removing Old Stator

[trykkermike]

Theres a company called "CTEK", they makes The Worlds Best battery-chargers for all kinds of vehicle & auto batteries - A CTEK charger starts the charge by testing the battery "is it okay?" & "how good is it?" - after that, it starts charging, and when charged to "maximum level" it tests the batt again. If there is an unstable current from the battery back to the charger, the charger will Pulse-Charge the batt to wake-up dead battery cells. The charger doesnt say OK before the batt is 100% OK!

hey thanks for responding, I did finally get the old one out, I had to pull from the stator through the opening, I hope I can get the new one installed with out trimming, I butchered my old one with needle nose plyers. (LOL)

@MrObserver1847 - So you pushed/pulled it out. Hummm... okay. LOL. Whatever gets it done. I don't think I would have considered that option; but now I will.

Putting that new stator plug in is a bear. This is the only part in my series that "magically" happened. Read all the posts under the installation video... a few guys have offered other ideas to make it an easier job.

THANK YOU for staying in touch.

Good luck,

Scott

thanks for posting this video series very helpful, I however have a problem with extracting the female recv'er of the stator, your demo was very smooth and easy I am having a helluva time getting mine out do you have any tips on how to loosen it up so that when I tap the female rcvr it will move?

@MrObserver1847 - Bigger Hammer. lol! Not sure what else to tell you. Someone may have used sealent to prevent leaking.

By the way, I had one HECK of a time putting the new stator "plug" through the case...I ended up trimming the "plug" with my knife to get it to slide in.

Good Luck and let us know what you find and what you did to get it free.

thanks for posting this video it is a tremendous help, I am in the process of putting everything back however I am having trouble putting the rotor with the chain back in place. Can you tell me how I can do this without disassembeling my clucth pack?

[VTwinOnline]

@MrObserver1847 - You can do this without "disassembling" whole assembly.

Thank you for taking your time to show this very helpful sequence. I may be doing this myself soon. Though i JUST had my rotor stator/regulator replaced this year, but for some reason since that was done, the new battery that was in, failed...they said it was a bad cell but now im noticing that the new battery is being run down??? so much that it wouldnt start the bike. My bike would just suddenly die when it would be put under load, then itd work again..now it happened 3 times in 3 minidea?

@missionron - you definitely have a problem beyond your rotor/stator and regulator. I would start by taking a close look at ANY modifications you have made to electrical. Sounds like you have a short/ground . I know it sounds like a pain, but... Harley makes a pretty solid product; it's not until you start messing with it that you have problems.

Hope you come back and share what you find.

Thanks for your post,

@VTwinOnline  I bought a 1997 dyna, that was made into a trike in 1997 (was a 97 dyna thT WAS REARENDED) a COMPLETE S&S motor was built, It has a Kliktronic shifter in it,. Bike had 18,000 kms I boiught it from nova scotia. Bike sat for 5 yrs before i had it shiped to b.c, neded an inspection done and the shop recomended i change the charging system as it was one from a sportster @28 amps they put a 32amp in. I havent dontr anything to the bike cept that. They "suspect" ig mod

@missionron - You likely have a short/ground or lack of a ground. I would check ANYTHING modified from after FACTORY wiring. Make sure your voltage regulator is properly grounded. It's a pain I know... but ya just gotta go through everything.

Not sure of the relationship w/ the bike under load.

You NEED to install a battery monitor. Search:  Kuryakyn LED Battery Gauge - Installation / How to (1 of 10) or see playlist on my channel.

Good Luck,

just changed mine i walked the plug in by tapping in nice helpful video,

just sorry for not changing it when i did the 5th gear seal , i got f**cked from a guy trying to sell ae a trans, said the case was bad damm lair. now i know fix it your self if you want it done right thanks

I bought one of those Kuryakan (sp?) LED voltmeter things. Actually, I bought it two years ago and have yet to put it in. Maybe this year. I do check the charging voltage from time to time with a DVM though. Still, I should quit procrastinating and get that damned voltmeter installed this year. Maybe when I replace the intake seals. Good excuse to remove the tank and wire the meter closer to where it matters, the battery.

@gliderp - I installed mine on my FLSTC and man am I HAPPY!~ I love the thing! 

Check my other videos and you will see my installation.

Guess what? My 'Dyna is all apart for a cam change. I had a bad noise suddenly start up and it appears I have 1 bad tappet roller, and the inner cam bearing bearing was just beginning to go. The cage broke, and some of the needles are showing some galling. Guess while It's up on the jack and all apart I'll finally get around to putting the silly voltmeter in, and do my least favorite job of changing the fork oil.
