Re: Very strange "repair" (long)

Hey Leland,
I do remember the most of those details from back then but I don't remember if the stator was tested?? Seems like I'm sure you would have done this however I would ask that you run the stator tests again since it might be more apparent now.

Also take a close look at the R/R connector. Your '89 does not have a lower stator connector so check all the wire connections in the piggy back plug as well as the main plug connections.

It is obvious that your 80 mile continuous riding has been able to cover the issue. Add in the trickle charger and you would be good for some time.....my guess (not explaining all the oddities with the jumpers) is that you have a stator issue of some sort. Hope I'm wrong so you can avoid the work but it would put you at ease with discovering a definite problem source.

I remember having a discussion with one of the R/R manufactures regarding the order of the three yellow wires and if they shorted or were misplaced (say replacing the connector) if it would effect the operation of the R/R.....the best answer was that it would not effect THEIRS....couldn't tell me about any others R/R. This is a question for the guy with silicone in his veins, Seth. When stator leads are shorted what will the R/R see???

Best Pogo
