Stator coils
#11
Ok...lets give this a try
this is the stub extention fitted. if you are wondering what the red is on the bolt head at the bottom of the rotor cavity...it is red nail polish I used and a marker when fitting the seal plate. set the plate in with the polish wet and where it touched the seal plate that material had to be removed for clearance.
this is the woodcraft cover with the ear rough sawn off
installed and functional
side view showing the edge of seal plate.
as can be seen the width has not been increased much
Wil be posting more photos when I have time to pull the stator out and show the inside. Also the progress of the cooling duct.
I am working with our contracted electronic engineer here at work to use the LCD display we have in several of our products to make a volt meter/stator temp gauge to be mounted below the dash quad

It really wasn't that diffiuclt to do. Figuring out how to bettercool was the longest process. And then just decided the coil and rotor had to be moved outside the case. So far so good....at 65 the air flow thru the vent holes is great. Just slightly warm air flowing. Bought a pile of. Modeling clay to shape the scoop. Will make a latex mold from the clay plug and lay fine carbon cloth and then clam shell splice the 2 halves. Should increased flow several hundred percent

That's badass!
How I wish I would've been able to do this with my CX500Turbo!
It's stators did the identical thing-burn out through overheating. I only had the patience (and money...) to replace three of them. They would last almost exactly 20,000 km's each, before cooking alive in boiling oil, LOL.
Obviously the bike was looong out of warrantee, so I had to cough up the cost for everything out of pocket. Getting at the CX components unfortunately, was a bit more complex than a CBR

being a tool a die machinist/engineer makes things a bit easier to do both aquiring and affording...my CBR went thru 7 coils. I originally had thought it was the bazazz system making the bike just run hotter....but after thinking about it...the first coil went before I installed the electronics. I got the bike in dec...first coil went in april. install bazzaz in may.
seems thru research this seems to be an inherant problem with Hondas. like I stated above...asking the oil to lube and partially cool the engine itself...lube and cool the wet clutch.....AND cool the stator??....tall order for any oil.....and I have been using royal purple...always came out like burnt carmel......not doing the engine itself anygood. now oil smells right and looks right. In my opinion...a stupid place to put an alternator.
