i need some help i went down and ****ed my bike up i've been riding sence i was 16 and this was my first time going down i dorked up the clutch cover and a copper coil came from somewhere its about the size of a softball and im thinking its from the altinator but im not sure i start the bike up and it runs great and ill run it for about 30 minutes and shut it off and the battery is dead and im deployed in afghanistan right now so i cant work on it so any help would be great

 

[hr]dAm that looks really jacked up, hope your ok.
copper coil from the back??? under the seat above the tire is where it gos
[hr]

 

the copper coil came from inside the engine and all i got was knocked out

 

Thats your stator which works as an alternator. It'll prolly run you about $150.

 

thanks and that will take care of the battery killing on me

 

Wow, that bites. I wouldnt keep starting it if I were you. I'd get everything accounted for and put back in just incase there may be more internal damage.

Where did all the grass come from?

 

Dam it looks messed up. Hey if you need a stator(alternator)I got one brand new for a 03. If it fits and your interested...send me a note.

 

Damn, sorry to hear about the mishap. How'd it happen? It looks pretty f*cked up. Hope you're alright after that. Another thing that I'd check out on the bike is the rectifier. If it's bad/broken/not hooked up, it'll have the same symptoms. I remember when I took my bike up to the dealership to have my pistons and other engine work done, I was like," I only want your best technician working on my bike." So, I dropped it off and a couple days later, they called me and said it was done. I was happier than a 3 peckered billygoat! I grabbed my gear, went to get my bike, and went riding, only to have my bike "die" on me at least a dozen times. I got pretty pissed, so I called the dealership. They ended up coming and getting both me and the bike. Anyways, we didn't even get the bike out of the trailer and their "head technician", their "He's the best we have..." technician, aame out with a box of tools in hand, and said," I'm pretty sure I know what the problem is. I think that I forgot to hook the rectifier back up..." Sure enough, it was the rectifier. So, check that out too. It may very well be your rectifier. Hope you don't run into any more problems than you already have. Just be sure to keep us posted and let us know how you're doing and your bike as well.
