stator problems

[scooter]

ive been reading that banshees are known too have stator problems? is this true i have had mine for a little over a year now with no problems of any kind. im wonderinig if this is a common problem or just a few that are having it. if so who makes a good after market one ricky stator?i have his adjustable timing plate and like it.is this something i need to replace or not worry about it. is there any signs to look for when it starts to go bad thanks for any input

yes it will fail. both of mine did. my 97 failed when it was 18 months old. my 94 failed last week. RMATV has a new one for 170 dollars but you need to buy regulator also and that is 20 bucks. when they go bad they will not give any warning the shee just stops running.

I disagree never had any problems with my 97. The only advantage to an aftermarket one is some are higher output. (i.e more lights)

i replaced mine twice since 94. if you pressure wash your bike, be carful. water can get in there and will cause it to fail. thats what happened to my first one. second time my degree failed, sheared apart inside. something happened to the stator and the output wasn't correct. made it very hard starting.

 

only replace it when you are having problems. as mentioned above, replace if you are trying to run some heavy duty lights etc.

 

i purchased my last stator from ricky, with an adjustable timing plate. imo it was the way to go. bike has been running strong and starting on 1st or 2nd kick.

thanks for the input. sound like it depends on your luck might not be a bad idea to have a after market one on hand just in case. but one or even to failing in 10 to 13 years dosent seem like a big problem to me
