Checked the a/c voltage from the stator and it was below 50 volts so I'm changing the stator out with the other one I have. When I took the stator off there was a alot of oil inside the cover, should that be in there or could that be part of my problem?
Like I said earlier I did lay it down on that side a little over a week ago. When I stood it back up It wouldn't do nothing so I let it set there while I was checking on my buddy that went down too. After mine sat there for a while then it cranked right up with no problem.

They do run in oil I think. Maybe a seal has gone and there's too much oil. Not sure
Maybe a teaspoon full or two, is about what I have in my stator.....

I'm not sure whether it would or not but I'd have the seals looked at - it SEEMS a bit much but some bikes run more than others. My 1000F doesn't have anywhere near that much, as I recall.

well got the stator changed out and checked the voltages across the battery again and here are the results of the two:

ENGINE TEMP/RPM...........OTHER STATOR..............THIS STATOR
cold Idle 1100 to 1500------12.49 volts-------------12.36 volts
cold 2500 RPM-------------13.16 volts--------------12.98 volts
cold 5000 RPM-------------12.57 volts--------------14.20 volts

hot 1100 to 1500 RPM-----12.50 volts--------------12.26 volts
hot 2500 RPM-------------12.82 volts--------------12.45 volts
hot 5000 RPM-------------13.60 volts--------------13.25 volts

Not much difference between the two stators. I checked both for resistance they were the same checked for the a/c voltage coming out of each stator wire, the same (forgot to write them down but were all 3 consistent) So based on this information my charging system I would say is working properly, all I need to do is replace the R/R.
Anyone agree or disagree? opinions?

The connector needs to be unplugged and the ingnition turned off. The proper value to read would be 0.1 - 1.0 Ohms. That is a very low reading, but remember that it's just a coil of wire. Make checks across all 3 combinations of the yellow wires. If any of them read outside of the specification, then you should replace it.

I'm currently using GSX/R regulators on both my F3's. The original on my F3 melted, and the other I just replaced as a precautionary measure.
thank you very much

Default 3 stator

does it matter that the f3 has a wet stator aand the gsxr stators are not?
