dajogejr Posted January 28, 2009 Report Posted January 28, 2009 GET RID of that junk Ricky Stator. And yes, water can short it out. While you have the flywheel off, shake it. Make sure you don't hear ANYTHING. I've had flywheel magnets break apart on the inside and have it break up at higher RPMs. Are you using the thread in type or jaw type puller for the flywheel? Quote

So if these Rickey stators are such pieces of crap, why are they so expensive and why are they still in business. They should be banned from e-bay. OH and I used the wrong puller and ruined my flywheel. Damn, learned my lesson on that one. Didn Quote
dajogejr Posted January 30, 2009 Report Posted January 30, 2009 That company is living off the name when they used to be nice equipment. They haven't been in a long time. OEM Stators are the way to go, check ebay, the forums, etc. 2 bad Ricky Stators 2 years in a row (2nd was warrantied)....I"m done with that crap. Luckily I was smart enough to keep an OEM on hand at the track last year.... Quote

Luckily I was smart enough to keep an OEM on hand at the track last year.... Looks like I also have a bad piston on the right side. Burned to the first ring on the exhoust side. I think that the crossover choke tube must have been pulling air. OOPs. Lesson learned. Cheap fix. The left side is in perfect condition. Huh Quote

Luckily I was smart enough to keep an OEM on hand at the track last year.... Just got back from dumont today. first trip with a new ricky stator 200w POS. High RPM miss. Checked everything on the bike. Carbs, jetting, plugs, Set the timing back to 0. Last thing was the stator. Put the stocker back on, ran like a champ. Luckily its still warrantied. Quote
