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?

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

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!

@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,

I havent dontr anything to the bike cept that. They "suspect" ig mod

@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,

Scott
