Author Message   Xb12_ohio Posted on Sunday, March 27, 2005 - 12:12 pm:        I was wondering if anyone has had a stator go bad on them yet? I was in the middle of bike week in florida and had one go there wasn't another one at any dealer so I had to sit over a weekend in Venice! That s- cked ! Is this a reocuring problem?   Chainsaw Posted on Sunday, March 27, 2005 - 12:28 pm:        Yup. Average is between 20-25k. Lost my XB stator at 15,000, HD at 35,000.   Ingemar Posted on Sunday, March 27, 2005 - 03:26 pm:        I have to say no. I have heard of 3 or 4 people with a bad stator. There are more I'm sure but still nothing to be concerned about considering how many XB's do NOT have a stator going bad.   Xb12_ohio Posted on Thursday, March 31, 2005 - 07:33 am:        Well now I know somthing is up! I had the stator replaced at 10 K last night I took the 12 R out for about 200 miles and it took a sh t again! Same problem Bike just died pulled cover off and it smells burnt! less than 2 K miles on this one any ideas?   Reepicheep Posted on Thursday, March 31, 2005 - 09:38 am:        The charging system is a full loss charging system, so the stator should be putting out max power all the time. If the stator is really dead again, it was either a bad part from the factory, or was damaged on installation. Both of which are very possible. A stator is made up of enameled (for insulation) wire wrapped around a ferrous steel core. The wires need to touch to be wound this way, but have to be insulated, otherwise they short out (thus the stink). If the enamel is nicked during manufacturer or installation, or the wires going to the stator are worn or cut and shorting out, it will fail in short order, starting small but heating up and doing more damage. Was this Eastgate?   Xb12_ohio Posted on Thursday, March 31, 2005 - 06:05 pm:        Well the XB is heading in to the shop to get a new stator and hopefully it is fixed. But when i get it back I will fully inspect all wires going to the stator. Thanks Bill   Xb12_ohio Posted on Friday, April 08, 2005 - 07:39 am:        Ok it was'nt the stator , it was the voltage regulator. Hopefully it is a done deal and I can get back to racking up the miles on the XB. Thanks bill for the input and I will be going over all the wiring to make sure that nothing is pinched or nicked. Thanks again Joe
