Yamaha Stator Plate Question

[ezv187]

In taking the engine out in my 1991 Yamaha 650, I noticed one of the components on my stator plate was damaged (the copper wires on one of the solenoids were all sliced up). Do I need a whole new stator plate or is it easy to replace the component? Also, who is the best place to buy electical components from? Thanks for the help! [img]smile.gif[/img]

You're much better off just buying a new stator - it's old and the other parts will be due for failure anyway. If you are buying one of our engines, we may have a good used one in stock very cheap.

I am planning on buying one of your engines in the coming week, who should I contact in regards to the stator plate?

I'm having Joe look for you...

Any word on the plate?

[Bryan Glynn]

Unfortunately we do not have any in stock right now. What I can suggest is that you go to www.hlsm.com and pickup whatever coil(s) you need to replace from them.

Cool, thanks....BTW, you might want add a sentence in the flywheel pulling sections of your installation guides that warns people not to screw the bolts on the flywheel puller in too far. This is how I messed up the solenoid on my stator plate.Hope this helps people not make the same dumb mistake I did. [img]redface.gif[/img]

For those application s where the stator is on the backside of the flywheel, we do have a warning not to turn the puller screws in more than 5 revolutions for just that reason [img]smile.gif[/img]

That statement is not in the Yamaha 650/701X installation guide. I think it should be on pg. 4. Just tryin to help! [img]smile.gif[/img]

Ack! You're right! It was mistakenly ommited - updating now.

Thank you very much!
