Hmmm...better check the brake fluid level. Nex minit: It is OK to run the hydraulics on used diesel oil and mud isn't it? They seemed (surprisingly!) to work averagely well on this before I opened it up (after 20 years). Apparently a similar viscosity, appearance and rank smelling oil was common to the forks too.

I sent a stator to Custom Rewind and had them upgrade the windings as well as put a Yamaha connector on the output leads. Got it back and installed it in a buddy's 98 with about 20k miles on it. We previously installed an R1 R/R but this was on our list to complete. Even with the R1 R/R, his volts never rose above 13.6v. It appears we completed the upgrade in time..... Custom Rewind continues to do excellent work, 14.4v at idle.
