Too late, just ordered a new stator...hopefully I didn't order a stator for nothing.

 

In our club, we have had over 6 can-ams have their stator go bad. So a stator going bad is likely.

 

Yeah, I'm hoping it's the stator.
Crossing my fingers.

 

westinbrad what year and size quad is it?

 

My stator died just a little bit ago. I watched the volts drop on my gauge. I was lucky to be with some friends . Because we where on a long trip .. and i had jumper cables . So we kept charging the battery to get home .

my bike has 419hrs on it
6500kms or 4000 miles ish


had to cut off the old plug (BRP told me to do this) and solder the new one on


the new one was one foot longer

 

It's a 2007 800 standard, but I believe the previous owner put a 2007 650 xt stator in there.

 

Something to check while you're waiting for it to come in is to make sure 1 or more of the 3 leads in the rear harness are not shorted to ground. Mine was.

Just got the new stator in and it's still only outputting 3 vAC. I have no idea why. Everything looks really good. All the connections are good. No bad wires. Super stummped.

Maybe a bad engine ground?

 

Check the connections in the system, especially the 3 yellow wires. Make sure one isn't "backing out" when your putting it together. And yes, check any and all connections/grounds that could possibly have anything to do with it.

So this is the 2nd stator replacement for this quad :0headscratch:, (I think the 650/800 were the same back then)?

 

I have a 2004 Outlander max. Bought new in 04 and has ran great until last year. SO far I have installed a new voltage regulator with new harness and I am on the third battery. I now need to replace stator. (I have >1v coming from the yellow wires at the VR.) Anyone know of a good place to shop? My dealer sold out and moved and the new guys (kawasaki dealer) are way expensive. Also how hard are they to replace? From nostuck500xt's pictures it looks pretty simple.
