No fitment issues at all with aftermarket timing plates that I know of. I haven't tried with all of them, but I see no issues.

An update, I've been working on the drag stator prototype yesterday, and it's just about done. I'll have it finished this afternoon and ready for testing. Now who will test this on a drag bike under real world conditions and give me reliable feedback? Here's some pics from construction. I will be making these from my existing stator for now, with extra epoxy sealing for the ignition coils. They will be $139 I think. I will need the tester to pay full price for the stator .Upon receiving full feedback and information, I will refund the price. Unfortunately I have to do this because I have had bad results with test parts in the past. Who's in? Here is the stator out of the box, about to get started: Removed securing zip ties & lighting ground screw: Unwinding lighting/charging coils: Getting there!: Epoxying wire wire connections & leads for ignition coils: Epoxy will be cleaned and sanded when dry. These were from yesterday afternoon. I'm gonna go wrap it up, and I'll post some pics of the final part. I've been thinking more about this. I'd really like a Banshee OEM flywheel to test with on my test bench. I want to test the temperature in the ignition windings with this stator vs. a full lighting stator. I believe there could be an advantage with these in a race setting due to lower winding temps.

Thanks for the feedback guys! I'm glad to hear you are happy and having a good experience with our parts (not surprised at all, but happy!!). I'm doing my best to spend time here on BHQ to get to know people and answer questions. It's a cool forum and friendly group, so it's been pretty welcoming. -Evan

OK, game on guys. Who wants to be the guinea pig? I will modify and even further bullet-proof a Banshee stator for drag/race use. It will have no lighting/charging output whatsoever. It will simply be an efficient ignition output. We'll need to do some testing here to see the advantage of using this setup. I will need somebody that can test this on a race-spec bike quickly, and give me feedback right away. Who's in? Maybe I'll start a new thread tomorrow for this idea, and people can post pics of the bikes they are interested in testing on. hmmm...

Glad to hear of the good feedback from you guys. We really do make a nice stator option for the Banshee's. Our pickup coils are easily the same quality as stock, if not better. What is the problem with the RM stator pickup coils you are referring to?

Thanks for the input guys. I will start a new thread soon, probably next week, with the details for a group buy. It will include both the DC and AC stators, so you can get in with either setup. I'll figure out the pricing breakdown this weekend, it will be a killer deal for you all! 06BC- you can use whatever switch type you'd like to control the lights. It does not have to be the stock switch, although that will work just fine. With any lights, I recommend using the switch to control a relay, and then powering the lights directly from a battery (assuming you are talking about a DC setup). This is always better, and stresses the switch far less, resulting in longer life. I can go into more details if you need help figuring out your setup, just ask.

I feel like I should post again. I finally read through the last 5 pages of this thread that blew up without me keeping an eye on it. Some good feedback, questions, and issues on here. As I said when I first heard of the CDI failure, I was 100% positive it was a fluke and had nothing to do with the stator. There have literally been no returns or issues with this part. Zero. The only contact I get about it is to help on wiring it it up for a DC conversion. Glen, if you still get updates on this thread, I'd love to hear a description of your DC kit test results. Glad to hear feedback from existing customers as well. This is a very bulletproof stator, and whether you're running stock headlights or HID's, you'll be very happy.

Sorry guys I haven't checked this thread in quite awhile. I could build a no-output ignition stator for race use. Honestly, if it uses a full core, I don't see any advantage to it though, other than simplicity. If one of you guys wants to try it, (and pay for the stator), I will modify one, removing the charging poles and windings, and give you an ignition only stator.

Are you guys interested in a group buy on these? I was thinking about starting one. I can offer a good discount if we can get 10 or more members to purchase. Do you want DC kits w/ reg/rec, or just the AC lighting stator? And what price do you want? I'm open to suggestions, and then I'll put together a deal for you all.

The test bike I filmed my video on had pod filters I think, and I made a battery tray above them. Dunes98's idea to mount a small battery in the tool tray is fine. I prefer the sealed maintenance free batteries over AA cell packs though.

Thanks John! I appreciate the kind words. I'm here to help, and despite busy days I'll try and check in here often. I'm glad you had a good experience and success with our stator. Not surprised, but glad! haha. It will work well with an adjustable timing plate. I don't make a backing plate for these, so you can run them with a stock or adjustable plate. It also keeps the cost down so I can retail them much cheaper to you guys. T

Yes you should really use the DC conversion kit, and power these LED's from a battery. Technically you can power LED's from Alternating Current, but it is not anywhere near ideal. You would need an AC regulator to keep the voltage peak down, high rpms and therefore high voltage would damage them. LED's are diodes. They pass current in one direction, positive polarity, and block current in the reverse direction. They will light as the current is positive polarity, and not in the other. However they have a decay time for the light to dim. The end result is a steady brightness (no flickering), but a dim light. This is also stressful as they constantly blocking current as the output alternates. Much better and more efficient to run LED's from a 12V battery. However the current draw is low, so the drain on the battery is not much. Those rigid LED's are great, and a perfect match for our DC conversion.

Hi guys, Sorry for the delay answering. Been super busy and I forgot to check back in on this thread. I'll try and keep a closer eye on it. Sheerider, we use magnet wire with high temperature insulation rated at almost 300C. I don't really want to go into specifics about the gauge and specific brand's insulation we use as it makes our stator different than other manufacturers building them. There are only so many wiring configurations you can use, the real quality comes with the specifics of the materials and the build quality. Answ3r, I would not recommend running the DC stator without a battery. At the very least ,connect the rectifier output to a very large capacity to stabilize the voltage for your lights. From there you can easily power LED's or whatever you'd like. You really wouldn't be able to run HID's without a battery, as even a large capacitor will probably not supply enough peak current when the ballasts are first powered up, resulting in the ballast safety circuits shutting down.

Hi BansheeHQ! I'm Evan from RaceTech Electric. I was on here for a bit last year as I was completing the testing process of my Banshee stators. They have passed with flying colors, and are in use all over the world with excellent results. After talking with Tyler here at BHQ, I was more than happy to get on board as a sponsor for the site. I will use this thread to answer questions and post updates about our parts. For the Banshee we make 2 different stators, and a regulator/rectifier. I'll go into detail about those below. RaceTech Electric 200W AC Dual Output Lighting Stator for 1995-2006 Yamaha Banshee http://racetechelectric.com/i-9530595-95-06-yamaha-banshee-high-power-dual-output-ac-lighting-stator.html Only $109 each This is a very high quality replacement and upgrade for your stock lighting stator. It fits all 1995-2006 Banshee's. We keep the cost down by reusing your stock backing plate. It is a very simple installation, and can be done at home. Make sure you have a flywheel puller though! This stator has a center ground tap in the lighting coil, with wires exiting on either end of the coil. This makes for an easy way to have to separate 100Watt AC lighting coils. You can use 1 of these to run your stock lighting system brighter than before. You can then use the second side of the coil to power additional lights with another 100W available. This is the way to go if you just want an upgrade to your stock lighting output, and want to add a few additional halogens. You can use the stock lighting wiring harness and switch as well. RaceTech Electric 200W DC Charging Stator for 1995-2006 Yamaha Banshee http://racetechelectric.com/i-10388138-95-06-yamaha-banshee-high-power-200w-dc-charging-stator.html Only $114.99 each The RaceTech Electric 200W stator provides a single phase charging coil with a massive amount of power. This makes for a very powerful DC system to keep a battery charged to power some massive lighting loads. This system is ideal for HID conversions or LED lighting accessories. To keep the cost down, this stator reuses the stock backing plate. It is a simple installation. Please use a flywheel puller to remove the flywheel, however! You can use this stator with any single phase regulator/rectifier and battery. We have a a recommended regulator/rectifier unit however, see below. We sell this stator individually in case you'd like to use your own parts. RaceTech Electric DC Charging System Kit for 1995-2006 Yamaha Banshee http://racetechelectric.com/i-10388144-95-06-yamaha-banshee-high-power-200w-dc-stator-regulator-rectifier-kit.html Only $159.99 per kit This kit combines our popular 200W DC charging stator, and our single-phase regulator-rectifier, for an amazing price. It is an easy installation, and short of a battery and final wiring, it is a complete charging system. We do not include a battery with this kit. There are many different ways to mount your battery, and wire your lights or accessories. If you need help setting up and configuring a DC system, please post here and I'll be glad to help. The stator and regulator connections are plug & play and very easy to set up. Here is a video detailing installation of our Banshee Stator & Regulator for a DC conversion: I look forward to meeting and talking with many of you. I'm proud and happy to be a Banshee HQ site sponsor. To contact us at RaceTech Electric: http://www.racetechelectric.com 760-476-3514 [email protected] And finally, if there is a lot of interest here, I would be very happy to set up a killer price for a group buy on Banshee parts. I could also offer a discount code for BHQ members.

Good point. I have no doubt whatsoever the stators 'work'. I lost my longterm local test bike that I had prototyped on (he moved), so I couldn't do long term reliability testing on them. That's what this is all about talking with you guys. I did however, send him a stator, and he confirmed fitment, spark, easy starting, and good performance across the RPM range. That was running the bike in his garage. So I had no doubt about the stators working. However, I don't like to go retail on my own website until longer term reliability testing is done. My web guy made a mistake, and submitted the pictures & data to our dealers. I caught most of them and put the part on hold until I gave the thumbs up. However, Riders Passion, who is a dealer of ours who sells on eBay, had already started the listing and paid the fees. They do high volume for us, and they wanted to keep it running since it was doing well and getting traffic. I let them, although I explained I was still in final testing of the parts. They were OK with that and accept returns, so they left it up.

Thanks for the update, good talking to you yesterday. I am confident in this part, and have not seen any issues reliability-wise with these stators. I really think the CDI issue is a fluke, a coincidence. I have been developing stators for years, and it is very unlikely that the stator caused the CDI failure after 30 minutes of hard riding. Generally if an ignition source coil (like what is used on the Banshee stators) is producing too high of a peak voltage, it will damage or destroy the CDI box upon the first time it reaches peak. Sheerider confirmed he was riding hard and up against the rev limiter many times over his testing, which makes me think the stator was not the cause of the CDI failure. If it was a source coil producing incorrect (too high) peak voltage, the CDI would not have lasted anywhere near 20+ minutes of continuous use. Thanks for the update and feedback! Stay in touch.

That's actually not us selling on eBay. Riders Passion, who you are referring to, is our largest dealer, mainly because they sell high quantities of our parts on eBay. They're great guys and do excellent work. The downside is, I have no control over the prices they set. I prefer my dealers sell at my retail price (set on my website), but I can't really force them to. They have to move their price around considerably to compete with the other guys on eBay. I consider this part $119 or so retail. I haven't put it on my website yet, but I will next week most likely. I preferred they held off on eBay selling until I had it listed for retail sale, but I had already given them specs and pictures and a dealer price structure...so too late! I was blown away to hear from them that they had to compete at a $45 price point with the Banshee stators. That's just plain ridiculous. These are easily worth double that price (and more)!!! Oh well. Part of the business. Anyways, looking forward to hearing from you guys!

Thanks Sheerider11, I'm glad you like it! I'm very happy with these stators so far, I hope you guys really like them. Wail on em for, let me know! I would like a local test bike here in San Diego, CA area to film a detailed video on the DC conversion process. Does anybody live in SoCal, and would be willing to loan me their Banshee for 1-2 weeks? You'll need to bring the bike to Carlsbad, CA 92011 (north county San Diego), and leave it for at least 10 days, then pick up. You will get a fully installed DC Banshee kit. I need one here to select my battery, battery box & mounting system, and do the conversion and install. This will help me take pictures for instructions, and have time to select and test all my components. I want to make a full DC conversion kit that is very fairly priced. Let me know!

Hey guys thanks for all the input. I'm sorry I've had a super busy week. I'm sending PM's back to confirm and will be shipping stators tomorrow, if you get back with your shipping address tonight. I'll post up what stator went to whom, and if anything falls through, I'll select an alternate. Thanks for the great response!

Hey guys, thanks so much for the great reception! I'm glad to be on the forum. I'll try and help out as much as I can and answer electrical and technical questions. I'm pretty busy, but I'll definitely try and chime in. I've talked to locogato about advertising, and I'll buy a premium membership as well, so I hope I'm legal on here now. I don't want to step on anybody's toes. So, a few things. I saw a need for a good high output stator for the Banshee's. I know the general opinion of the other brands making high output stators is not that great. I'm hoping to change the game on these as well as your opinions! First off, my stator is not modeled after any other brand. Staying confined to the same physical core measurements of the OEM stator, you only have so many choices for arranging the charging coil/s & ignition source coil. I chose to array the ignition source coil evenly spaced on non-consecutive poles. From my testing this keeps temperature down in the windings quite a bit more compared to using all of the ignition poles in order, similar to the Electrosport stator. Now, my stator is built with 2 single phase charging poles. This is done mainly for flexibility. Each coil has an individual wire run out through the harness. The other end of each coil is tied together, and grounded to the stator core. This makes for dual lighting outputs to drive high wattage halogen bulbs, with only an AC regulator required. However, it also gives me the option to easily convert the same part number into a floated ground 200W single phase charging output, intended for use with a rectifier/regulator to charge a decent sized battery. I intend to offer my stator as I manufacture it, with twin single phase outputs, and I will also modify it in-house, and offer a separate part number, with floated ground and a single phase 200W output for DC use. All of my bench testing with a stock Banshee harness, coil, cdi, and plug shows no issues sparking at high RPM. However that doesn't totally replicate on-bike conditions, which is why I want to get these out and in use. So, I'd like to send out the test stators on Monday morning. Sprinklerman & Sheerider11 were the first guys to get ahold of me, they shot me PM's right away. I'd like to get you guys the stock dual - single phase stators for testing. I'd like to send out to one more person to test the DC system. I will include stator modified for 200W single phase charging output, and I will include a single phase regulator/rectifier unit. I need somebody who already has a battery ready to mount, or mounted on the bike to charge, and a good load on the battery, like HID lights at the very least. Who's up for the DC system testing? I need good solid feedback on this very quickly, so please make sure you're ready for it if you'd like to test for it. thanks guys! Evan

Hey BansheeHQ, I'm new to the forum, and happy to be here. I hope to hang out here, help by answering some questions and get to know some people. I'd like to advertise here as well in the near future. I hope this isn't considering advertising, I'm looking for R&D testers and to give the parts away for testing purposes, not advertising for sales. I'm Evan, I run RaceTech Electric (www.racetechelectric.com), we manufacture stators & voltage regulators. I run engineering and R&D. I'm here because I've got a new Banshee stator for 1995-2006 Banshees. It's a high output stator, with 2 single phase outputs, good for a total of about 250 Watts total lighting power. One output is 150W, to run the original lighting system, and the second coil is over 100Watts to run additional lights. This is a new winding configuration I haven't seen before, and should be highly reliable and powerful. I've built quite a few prototypes, and bench test results have been excellent. I'd like to give out a couple of these free to forum members to run and get your opinions on. We're able to keep the cost down on these a great deal compared other manufacturers building Banshee stators. You do need to reuse your original backing plate. The stator includes the pickup coil, grommet & connectors and is plug & play ready. I'm thinking retail price will be $119, which should be a good deal compared to others that are available. Thoughts on the price? Anyways, hope some of you guys will be up for testing our new stator on your Banshees. Reply here and I'll send them out free, shipping on my dime. I just need to hear back from you within a week with your test results and thoughts on quality, fitment, output, and anything else. Here's some pics: Thanks! Evan 858-220-1483 cell 619-928-9015 office
