    Don't bother too much about it - it doesn't really matter in the great scope of things, it's still 'short' whether than be 0.5, 6, or 10 or whatever When does the great disassembly begin? Or waiting for part in hand first?

    This is moot at this point - just meter error I suspect, still stuffed regardless of the absolute value But think of this way You measured 6.4 terminal to ground and same from terminal to terminal - that doesn't really compute as if it was REAL resistance, you would have got double pin to pin...

    It has demised, it is no more, it has ceased to be :D I think your meter may be bit off at the low end, what does it read when leads shorted together? But regardless, still stuffed (like the parrot)

    That discolouration is typical - I would expect that stator will pass the isolation test and would actually be perfectly good operationally. I would never replace a stator just on that alone. Your replacement will almost certainly now look identical if you could see it. (well the epoxy coating...

    That 21_001 is not for Rocket Rocket part # is 21_021 Hermy's incorrect there https://ricksmotorsportelectrics.com/New-OEM-Style-Triumph-Stator-21_021

    Don't worry about how it 'looks' - some coils are always going to look darker (i.e don't worry about colour, but if coil(s) are burned its going to be obvious You can do same test as when it is installed, out on the bench - again measure resistance from any one of the terminals this time to the...

    Ideally keeping the speed up* to avoid rad kicking on - not much can do about that if in stop n go traffic, other than careful route planning regarding time to avoid the congested periods * Double whammy - idle or low speed produces less current and of course low road speed means no air flowing...

    If he offered that unprompted, and that is indeed the case, then yes the stator is definitely bad. Doing AC Voltage testing is pretty pointless if it already fails the isolation test. For a stator or R/R failure, there will always still be some current generated - only if the R/R is...

    If you have EB headlight kit, then simply remove the fuse from the feed for that rather than fuse 10 Even with LED headlights you'll still be saving 5-6A load

    Yes, they are all same on classic, roadster and touring Before you unbolt it however, just do the stator test I outlined - takes about 2 mins tops and minimal effort to access Then IF the stator test passes, you can swap in the R/R and see how that goes. If stator test fails, then no point in...

    Incredible gesture - good for you @tribal - Just hope that they don't try to stick you with that charge for the stator Also - once you have it started, if you feel safe riding without headlights on, then pull fuse 10 Fuse 9 (it needs that fuse in to start but once running, you can pull it) That...

    You can't really bench test a MOSFET regulator like you can old-school SCR one Sounds like they decided, "it's not the regulator, must be the stator" Now - important to note - it may well BE the stator, but I would sure like to have some specific testing to know.

    You're saying that they are going to mark up these after-market parts (regardless of which one) on top of the installation cost? that's just ..... wow!!!!!! :eek:

    Sorry for your troubles, been enjoying your pics I personally would not endorse RM Stator - see here This is a HUGE undertaking to take that risk - they may have fixed that epoxy issue, but would not take that chance, especially on a Rocket motor given all that is entailed in replacement...

    Old Biker New Rocket

    Regarding the tank and seat locks: I believe (at least from other models) that those accessory locks have fewer matching requirements on the key i.e. ignition key will open all, but one made from the accessory locks will not necessarily operate the key-switch lock. It would really be best to...

    Thanks for referral @Jag - but I am currently in hiatus from making these until I can find an alternative for the RFID module I've been using. They are still out there but just becoming prohibitively expensive. It's too bad DEI abandoned that product, nothing in their portfolio comes even...

    More research - as I suggested above, I saw a hint in one video that showed a pretty quick response with minimal lag using an OBDLink device; that was only a vert short segment with a quick throttle blip and I wanted to see something more So I searched around on YT specifically searching on...

    Stator

    A new stator is potentially about as likely to fail as the original - of course you'll be able to inspect it during tear-down so can make a call at that point. It's not like anything can 'wear' per se, the failure is when the coil-wire insulation actually burns through creating a short. There...

    Doing a little more research, I did find one User review who was using an OBDLink LX Bluetooth adapter with Torque Pro- now those are relatively more expensive - $60 But in his video (it was a Subaru WRX) it did appear to have minimal lag on the tach indication - so perhaps that combo might be...
