Ok well I got into a minor accident awhile back, I slipped and fell on some gravel while making a sharp turn.. and then I tried charging the battery and it started up great after and I thought I was good.

Well, I took it on a good 20min trip and while getting off the highway i noticed my bike was kinda sputtering and my rpm gauge was acting like a misfire was occurring.

So, I drove a little more towards my destination and the bike just stalled and when I tried to start it again it didnt even get a crank over. Later on I had a friend come help and give me a jump, and it started right up but still died quickly so i just threw it up on his truck. (also I did try to just pop the clutch and that didnt work)

Now it's sitting in the garage and I'm thinking it needs a stator and a new battery. I'm wondering if anyone might have any help on the matter, anything different it could be? where I could find a cheap stator? If I can rebuild the stator?

Any help is appreciated!

 

You are quite possibly correct but don't assume!
Check the regulator/rectifier too and the wiring. Could be something as simple as a broken wire.

 

Stator's rarely go bad. By their name they are stationary and just a set of 3 coils of wire with a magnet spinning around them. Not much to go wrong with them. Their connections can become corroded, but rarely does it have to be replaced. The F3's are notorious for their Regulator/Rectifiers (R/R) going bad. That's what maintains a charge on the battery. Make sure your battery terminals are clean and that the battery fluid is up (if it's a serviceable battery). Check the connection on the R/R. It's located behind the right side cover. See if it looks like its been cooked. Poor connections will cause it to overheat. If you've got a meter, check the battery voltage with the engine running at 5000 RPM. It should be between 13v and 15.5v. If it's below that, then most likely you're going to need to replace the R/R.

 

i appreciate all the help ill be looking at it this weekend and hopefully figure this thing out
