Replaced my Electrosport stator...

[GunMD]

After right around 45 thousand miles of aux lights, heated jacket and gloves, Autocom, XM Radio, and cruise control my Electrosport stator finally gave it up. Not surprising IIRC, as I seem to remember several folks saying 50K was about the max life one should expect given the loads placed upon the stator. Here are a few pictures of the old one...

I had some sealant (1194) in place 'cause after a few thousand miles it began to weep oil slightly.

The new one...

Special thanks to Desert Cycle Works of Twentynine Palms, CA for the use of their facility and tools. Thanks guys, I couldn't ride like this without your assistance.

EDIT: Current mileage on my '05 FJR is just shy of 102,000.

You sure you don't wanna just put a stock one back in?

ooops...too late.

No can do. Not enough wattage to run all my stuff at once. (GenI FJRs have about 100watts fewer than GenII, IIRC)

Gunnie, you a Gen1 guy?

Wow. Did that come with coleslaw?

GZ

And you run the new one for a month and it'll look brown just like the one you replaced........from personal experience. Wish we had an alternative to the ES

You need to post up on the 'FJR Mileage Milestones' thread.

As for the stator, perhaps you should have tried upgrading to the Gen components. It would have been quite a bit more pricey, but should last indefinitely.

Yeah Carver, GenI.
