  2. I finished the job Monday night and it went pretty smooth. It took less time than I figured and it rides much better now. I'll do the rears this weekend and finally put in the forks that Icepick sent to me to try.

    Thanks again guys!

  3. I just ordered another stator to replace the one I put in 6 months ago. I purchased them both from Rick's and have never had a problem before using his stators. My question is; Is there a better stator to use in the XX?

    I purchased another one from Ricks for 3 reasons, 1) they will refund my purchase 2) they had one in stock (daily rider) 3) Never had problems before with Ricks on my old KZ.

    Any suggestions??

  4. My 2003 does not like the heat either. In Texas when it was 105+ I ran in the 220's in traffic on a regular basis and even hit 250 a few times. This is normal. Keep your revs at 2,000+ and you will charge the battery equal to what is being used to run the fan. This is the advice I was given when I bought it - and it is true.

    The guys on this forum are the best!

  5. I have found that a magnetic, multi-tip screwdriver with extensions is the bare minimum that you will need. Not always will the tips that come with the set work on every screw. You may have to purchase some tips that match your needs. Once you put your set together, it will be Indispensable. You may want to purchase some extra bits for spares.

  6. Updated to incorporate correction and addition

    My battery died on me Friday, I replaced it with a Batteries Plus gel model and left it on the battery tender all night. Today as I am riding around I noticed from my voltage monitor (aftermarket) that the battery was not charging while engine was at 4,000rpm. I rode home and tested the regulator/rectifier and there was no continuity with the green and ground wires coming from the rr. I checked the stator as indicated below with the battery at 12.79v.

    Update - when measuring the 3 yellow wires coming from the stator - I found this -

    Wires 1 & 2 at idle 6-7vac and rev up to 4,000rpm 19 vac

    Wires 2 & 3 at idle 3.5vac and rev up to 4,000rpm 3.8 vac

    Wires 1 & 3 at idle 9.5vac and rev up to 4,000rpm 21 vac

    It seems that the rr is bad and not the stator - right?

    MR. Hobiscus' testing procedure

    Always start charging system tests with a fully charged battery!!!

    1) The stator will have 3 wires coming out of it. Usually they're Yellow. Locate where they connect to the Regulator/Rectifier, and disconnect it.

    2) Start the bike.

    3) Take an electrical meter, set it to AC Volts. Measure voltage between any 2 of the wires. You should get 15+ volts across them at idle, and when you rev up the bike, it should quickly climb to anywhere from 40 to 80 volts.

    4) Check all possible combinations. If you don't get voltage, or get nearly none, the stator is bad.

    Every other test you can do (continuity to ground, resistance between the pins, etc) won't answer the question: Am I getting output from the stator?

    If you're getting output from the stator, and the connectors look good, your Regulator/Rectifier is most likely bad

  7. Remember when I posted that I got about 13k out of my rear Pirelli Angels? Well, I just replaced the front - 21k

    Commuting every day about 80 miles minus a couple of weeks in the winter.
