Stator ?

I just bought my banshee and the person before me didn't tighten down the bolts on the new stator and they backed out and the flywheel took them out wiped out the stator and the mount plate. So I got a stock output stator and adj. plate from ricky stator, put it on yesterday and all was well. I was a little woried about the flywheel but it has no major marks in it. So it ran for about 30 minutes then the lights stopped working and 5 minutes later hesistation and missing, then nothing. So I'm thinking lighting coil went bad then the ignition coils on the stator went out. But after only 30 minutes. I read all the bad shit about RS but come on 20 or so minutes. What can go bad on a stator in that amount of time unless it got way to hot melted the insulation and shorted out. When I it died the side cover was hot but not so hot I couldn't hold my hand on it. Took it off and looking thru the flywheel everything looks ok. Radiator and motor where a normal temperature. I have the key bypassed and swapped in a extra CDI that I have nothing. Is the resistance range for a ricky stator the same as OEM?

sounds like the same problem i am having right now. After about 20 minutes the bike started hesitating through the entire rpm range but idled fine, it cools off and runs ok for about 5 minutes and the same stuff. Stator bolts backed out just like yours and I replaced with a RS. Still trying to figure mine out

It is the same as the oem. Dont condemn it because its a Ricky stator. There can be alot of things that are overlooked when installing a stator. IE did you make sure the voltage regulator is hooked up, the wiring is ok, and its working properly. This could have caused your lights to burn out. Second did you adjust the pickup coil gap? If the flywheel magnets have shit hanging off them from being mangled, that could contact the pickup coil and basically heat it up till it quits working. Other problem is the flywheel could be cracked internally from the previous damage, hitting it with a hammer, or dropping it also.

If it was the flyheel wouldn't it have the problem all the time?? I'm sure it's wired right I just went thru the entire harness. And with the other stator it ran just fine. I am looking for another voltage regulator to see if thats the light problem. Which still doens't explain the reason it doesn't run once it gets warm.
