There is an extended warranty for the stator only on the 06 to 07 bikes. Check with dealer first

I did & its covered. But 2-3 weeks without my bike & they are still wanting to charge labor to test the rest of the system has me less than excited. I would rather spend a little knowing that I got a better part anyway.

 

I had battery charging problems, was told that my bike was in the warranty extension('07) so i took it to the Honda nazis(local dealer) had them replace under the warranty. And after they were all done they decided to tell me that my stator apparently was fine, and charged me for everything. so make sure they do a stator check before they tear it open.

 

I have checked it & it has failed the 2 test in the Honda service manual.

 

just got off of the phone with Brad & my Rick's Stator & gasket are on their way. :thumbsup:

 

The wires are burnt off of the top coil.

 

i dont think that is wires burned but the protective coating on the wires. i had one that looked similar on an r1 and it worked fine. if two circuits failed the test in your honda manual then it is toast. how much did you spend on the new stator?

 

Nope, the wires were actually melted. The stator & gasket were $138 from Brad.

Why did you have replace the flywheel? I didnt realize it was a wear item.

On the 04-05, the recommended fix is to update to the 06-07 style stator. When you do that, the flywheel must be changed too since it's different.

 

yup i had the same problem on my 04 i had to replace the stator and the flywheel, i got the parts from the nazis and did the labor my self! they charged me for the stator $250 and honda sent a free flywheel along with the stator!

 

Why did you have replace the flywheel? I didnt realize it was a wear item.

 

Ok. It's been 3 months. Care to update? I've had this same problem in the past with the magical blue smoke coming out of my stator leaving behind the same charred wires as in your pictures.

If/when (hopefully never) I have this problem again I would consider upgrading to the 06-07 stator and flywheel if it is a better solution.
Thanks in advance!

 

Check starter relay, it's located in battery tray. Not saying this is the problem, just check it to rule it out.

Ricky stator build all kinds of stators. Sometimes increasing the wattage, but usually making the stator moe efficient. Very good buy!

My last stator. Tried the cheap replacement and it let the magical blue smoke out. Had to go look at the box, replaced it with a Ricks stator and R/R. So far its been charging.

 

Need some help. 2004 1000KRR. Original stator was replaced in 2007 under warranty but my battery died and I replaced the battery two days ago. After 140 miles of riding, the bike died again. I checked the battery and it had 11.6 volts and would not crank the engine. I checked the stator and it show resistance of .1 to 0.2 Ohm between the three yellow wires but it also show continuity when grounded. Is this one going bad also? I have a spare one sitting from 2007 I purchased from Brad so I have the replacement but not sure if this is the problem. How difficult is to replace the flywheel?.

 

Yes. Stator is bad if you have continuity to ground from any of the 3 wires.
What do you mean "sitting from 2007" ????
Its a stator from a 2007 model or its from a 2004 model and its been sitting since 2007?

It was 2007 when my original stator died. At that time I did not know about the Honda warranty, so I ordered a brand new stator from Brad in order to replace it. When I took it to Honda, they said it is covered so I saved that stator all these years.

I am sure it was the updated as it is Honda part

 

If you ordered the replacement from Brad then it should bolt up without replacing the flywheel. You should be able to tell when you have the old one out to compare. The 06-7 I believe have a larger inside diameter size stator which is why flywheel must be changed.
It really isnt hard to change out. Fairings are the hardest part. And Im sure youve had them off a few times.

Yes LOL, fairing is not hard at all. I have the service manual as well but just wanted to see if there are any tricks. This is my tomorrow's project. Thanks very much for your input and help.

 

Hondabond is holding stator cover in place after you take out bolts so thats kinda a PITA to get the cover off. The cover is also magnetized. Remember that when you put it all back together or that nice pretty bead of silicone will get screwed up if you dont line it back up when you re install. Also check white connector to regulator for burn marks.

Put batt on charger while you change everything out.

I will thank. Looks like a straight forward process. I will grab a new battery and a Honda bond from dealer tomorrow. My old battery is original battery that lasted this long so it has to go.

I checked the white connector mark already and they are good.

Thanks very much.

appreciate all your help. I read that thread. I will print it out with me. Waiting for the dealer to open today.

 

Got is done last night. Bike is running and a brand new stator is in along with brand new battery. Hopefully this will last a few years.

 

It should. If this is only your second battery you have obviously been doing something right!

Yes, I bought battery tender and plug the battery in every night so it stays fully charged.

 

Im on my 2nd one. Got my first one years ago for ONE DOLLAR at a yard sale! Just replaced it with a Schumacher a few weeks ago. A must have with any bike.
