Recently bought an f3 a few weeks ago. Over the weekend I was riding and came to a stoplight and the bike died. Couldn't get it to start back up. Went through the normal routine of checking the battery, checking the regulator/rectifier, got to the point where I needed to check the stator. Took off the bolts to take off the stator cover and oil just started pouring out. Like, a bucketful of oil. Not sure what I should do from here. If anyone has some advice it would be very helpful.

 

Surprised me too lol but there's soppossed to be oil in there. I learned you should drain the oil first. If you need a new stator I have an extra one if you need it. Is it turning over?

 

If you broke the seal you'll need to get a new one. They usually tear, so it's
a good idea to spend the $5-$10. Might as well do a complete oil change.
It will give you a starting point, for future changes.

Once you get it all sealed up and filled up.

It gives a pretty good over-view of electrical/charging systems.

The best way to check a stator, is with a multi-meter.
You shouldn't need to visually inspect it,
unless you've dropped the bike on it's left side.

Hope this helps, Ern
