not a banshee a 88 250r

[ny98banshee350]

ok so my buddy has a 88 honda 250r its the red 1 in my aviator

 

the motor has alot of hours on it but it runs strong, its bored over .30 over or somethin like that

 

awhile back a bolt came loose and blew apart his stator, well he was havin problems with the whole electrical so he changed everything from the cdi box, the whole harness the stator,the rotor, and wut ever else is in the electrical..

 

well the stator blew a week ago it was a cheap one i think moose or somethin

he bought a rickystator and put it in 2day

 

we rode it and it blew again the stator is dead no spark

 

y is this happening??

 

thanks for the help

Check the flywheel pickup for sighn of contact with the stator magnets. Often times they will rub, heat up and go bad.

It could also be that it was a ricky stator....people have been having a lot of problems lately with them since he turned to outsourcing them to another country I believe.

Its a little too coincedental that he blew one right before this also for it to be a issue with the manufacturing of the component. Dont blame RS until you know whats wrong.

yeah....its pretty coincedental.....but look up all the threads on this site about the stators going bad right away....and not even working right out of the box.

 

Thats why I said "It could"......its something to think about. But if you look at everything with a fine tooth comb and everything comes out how it should be....only last thing it could be is the stator.

Ummm, well since the guys stock stator had gone bad and the new one ran awhile, then I would look into a wiring or install issue. You guys are the ones that have issues with RS products, I dont have issues with them at all. This bike isn't a Banshee either.

Heard a whine from my 88 bottom end last week, crank bearing were bad, it was moving enough to make it break up on top end.

???? I dont get it?

Crank moved in and out, the R is known for the crank to get play between the lobe and inner bearing race

so it will get crank end play or radial play? Crank end play shouldn't take out a stator, but radial end play may cause the flywheel to whack the stator or the pick up.

I only own 4 R's, you tell me

Tell you what? I asked you to confirm what you were saying? Is it crank end play or radial journal play? He has a stator issue, Now I am confused about why you piped in about a whining noise, and just told me to tell you?

[.]

because if their is end play it can cause the flywheel to move in and out correct?

[Snopczynski]

Well it should yes, but I would think it would have to move almost 1/4" to hit anything. He is probably the best source to figure that out from though.
