Stator care:


Stator failure will result from running the bike hot. Following is a list of things that
will make your engine run hot.

2. Improper carburetor jetting.
3. Improper spark plug heat range. Never run a hotter plug than the specified

spark plug.

4. Clutch slippage. See “CLUTCH” section for causes of slippage.

CAUTION:

Because of the amount of heat generated by the clutch and engine during
extended periods of riding, it is advisable to remove the ignition cover

and can damage the stator as it cools off because of lack of airflow around
the stator. Spray the stator and rotor with CRC 3-36 or WD-40 and let it drip
dry or blow it off a little with an air nozzle.

Ignition will overheat if the gap between the rotor and stator is not large
enough. There should be even clearance as the rotor rotates relative to the
