Maybe I could try buying ont the stator from rick's and see if my r/r is fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Dutchy Posted October 17, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted October 17, 2014 Have you put a multimeter to your R/R? "see if my r/r is fine" suggests not yet.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowJP88 Posted October 17, 2014 Author Share Posted October 17, 2014 I've try but that's not the kind of things I'm good at. A friend of mine who could help is at 2 hours from here. the reading didn't have any sense. I'm fine to change part but not to do that. I've try another one this summer but I had to cut cable since the connection was not the same... reused mine, the other one was giving me more trouble. And now, my bike is at a point that when I ride, when the bike is a bit hot (less than 15 minutes) at a red light, the rpm is at zero even if the engine run. When riding the reading is good for that but when the light turn green, it easily stop and never restart until colder. And it do start like a new one when cold...

Member Contributer WIN6 Posted October 17, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted October 17, 2014 Lost me there. . . Is your voltage at zero when your engine is running, or is there an indicator that shows your RPMs at 0 while running? Also, usually the battery fails when you have R/R and/or stator problems, so if the bike stalled out, it wouldn't start back up again until you charged the batttery or jumped it.

Also, usually the battery fails when you have R/R and/or stator problems, so if the bike stalled out, it wouldn't start back up again until you charged the batttery or jumped it. When hot with engine running at idle, my rpm needle is sometimes at 0, when I gave some gas, the rpm is back to normal. When it's doing this, it won't start and act like an empty battery (the clock and odometer reset) and when I push the start button, the odometer flicker just like when the battery is empty. So I need to start it with compression. After that, when engine is cold, it start like a new... It seem's to charge fine. My battery is Ok, I don't need to boost it. I actually use it more often to go at school, less then 10 minutes, so it may be ok to charge it while cold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CandyRedRC46 Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 I installed an electro sport rr and stator on my 2007 vfr800. It charged at 18 volts. I'm lucky my bike did not burst into flames. RUN AWAY. ELECTROSPORT IS CHINESE GARBAGE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Havagan Posted October 17, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted October 17, 2014 I put one on my Ducati a few months ago -- it fried within a month. Luckily, I purchased through Amazon's storefront and got a refund and sent the unit back. Will not buy from them again. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer mk2davis Posted October 17, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted October 17, 2014 Get a voltmeter and find out what your real problem is. Just throwing parts at if can get expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer jeffyjeff Posted October 18, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted October 18, 2014 Electrosport has a very good troubleshooting tree, (probably on their website) I have used it on several occasions with success each time. Unfortunately, their products are junk. Believe the negative responses from the user group. I fried both an R/R and a stator. Naturally, one outlived the other and I ended up repairing the charging system twice. Jeff J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer mk2davis Posted October 19, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted October 19, 2014 A failing RR can act a lot like a bad stator. I'm not saying your stator isn't shot, but it's better to find out before you whip out your cc IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marriedman Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Time to check the system -- do "The Drill" in the attached post #5 its not hard.

He's right though. If I can do it anyone can. Sometime it helps to have an extra pair of hands in there to either hold the probes or turn the throttle, but it is not 100% necessary. Taking your time is the most important thing to do. Take pictures if you have to ask a question on here. These guys know their shit and can identify all these things for you if need be.

Directly on battery: - at idle = it's between 13.09 and 13.20 - at 5000rpm it's between 14.50 Stator connection: AB - BC - AC They are all at zero Battery to A, B, C Still at zero It's the AC part that I'm not quite sur to have a normal result with the voltmeter on AC on the battery. At Idle : 0.030 at 5000 rpm: 0.024 So, what does that mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At Idle : 0.030 at 5000 rpm: 0.024 So, what does that mean? Somethings amiss here - you dont have the multimeter set on the correct range before you test.... ------- btw probes test on the stator connector, not R/R side for these. Clean connector good before the test, maybe with a little fine sand paper or simular. ---- there is no stator connector to battery test, dont do it. - 1st tests --- set the meter range on 200 ohms..... or the closest your meter has.... recheck a-b, b-c, c-a... Answers is in ohms, something like 0,5 - Next tests --- keep meter on the 200 ohms -- - probe on one connector spot A to ground, (frame) then B to ground, then C to ground. Sould be no conductivity. --- Then the AC volt tests --- set meter at 200 V ~ alternating Volts - got that one? Then probe in A-B, B-C, C-A. Ok try that.

ShadowJP88 Posted October 21, 2014 Author Share Posted October 21, 2014 Ok thanks! I'll try this soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowJP88 Posted October 31, 2014 Author Share Posted October 31, 2014 Finally been able to test that. On idle, the 3 result were almost the same (±.1) and at 4000 rpm, same things. So I supposed my stator is fine. I've also received my Rick's r/r which is now installed. I found it in a dealer in Ontario for way less and it is still brand new! :D Just need to do a test ride to know the result Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
