How To Test Stator

[quadlt500]

i tried testing my stator. i got juice thru one wire it was the yellow wire and thats it. is that the only one that is suppose to have fire?its a 97 banshee

I'm guessing that you don't have a spark. And, do you have a clymer yamaha repair manual? Best $25 you can spend. If you don't have a spark, the two wires that will not give an ohm reading are GREEEN-TO-RED. Those are your ignition wires. The reading for those two wires are 13.7-20.5.

 

I just replace my statar about a month ago.

i tested white with green lead and the white with red lead. and they tested right the coil i tested it and the reading was .9 the book call for .25 to.38 i think. so i am guessing my coil is bad.

The yellow wire is from the lighting coils. The green and red are the ignition coils as stated above. The bike will most likely spark/run with those readings (which are from the pick-up coil BTW). It depends on the meter you use but I don't think I have ever had a reading actually within the limits

Anyway, if you have some resistance you know the coils are not open. The next thing you need to check is if they are grounded to the frame (same as off switch). I think that is by far the most common death of stators. I have been through three stock ones myself that shorted to the posts the wire is wrapped around. Bottom line...if the red or green wires are open or grounded the stator is toast. Hope this helps!
