I recently replaced my stator in my 01' 929 erion racing, I am still having problems with it staying running. I must first jump the bike from another electrical source, while its still hooked up it runs fine but as soon as u unhook it it dies. I checked the out put of the new stator and am getting 14.5-15.9 consistently across all 3 wires. any help would be great because i have about had it with this bike. Also. It has a new battery which is currently dead. my assumption is even with a dead battery the bike should still run normally off the stator, whether the battery is charged or dead or gone out of the equation all together. Am i missing something or what should I do about this.?? Any help please!! there are tons of smart people on here, please chime in with some suggestions.

 

i just read the thread titled"DIED ON Highway today" in this thread it is said that if your battery is not fully charged to start then there is not enough juice to go around for all your components. it also goes on to say that electrical systems on our bikes are not like that of a car which can use the alternator to run whether there is a dead battery or not. Please expand further on this information so I can narrow down wht the problem could be THANKS.

 

bikes are not like a cars electrical system where if the battery goes dead the alternator will keep it running. on our bikes if the battery dies so does the bike.

there are 3 main components to the electrical system; battery,stator and regulator/rectifier. if any one of these fails then it puts a drain on the others which can cause to premature failure. its a domino effect.

so lets say that your reg/rec is bad that will cause your stator to go bad which then leads to your battery draining and dying. usually you can tell if the reg/rec is bad by simply looking at it and seeing if there are any burnt or melted wires. chances are this is your problem without doing any electrical tests you wont know if the stator is bad but if you can afford it just change everything at once. trust me you dont wanna be out riding and get stranded again.. ive had it happen to many times , this is why i suggest changing the reg/rec and the stator. piece of mind is invaluable
