XXera Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Has anybody bought a Ricks stator lately for a FI Blackbird, and if so, did you have to modify the insulator grommets, wiring leads, or connectors to get it installed? I have a 2000 Blackbird that appears to have a bad stator and was thinking about a Ricks versus an OEM Honda. Thanks for any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hobicus Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 I'm running a Rick's in my 2002, with no problems whatsoever. They put the proper connector on based on the year you buy, and it matches up to the OEM. That having been said, the connector on mine eventually ended up being loose, got hot and eventually cooked one of the 3 leads. I decided that rather than fuck around with it, I would just cut and solder the wires after putting them together with a western union splice: It took a while to solder, as those are some big wires and it took a bit to get them hot enough for the solder to flow. I then covered the wires with heat shrink tubing to keep them from grounding out. So far, it's worked flawlessly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XXera Posted February 4, 2011 Author Share Posted February 4, 2011 Thanks for the information. I decided to go ahead and order an OEM stator from Service Honda. If the new one will last as long as the original, that will be good enough for me. Besides, I won't be hitting the rev limiter at the track anymore with Jay. What's going on, Jay. How's the weather down there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverbird1100 Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 I told him I needed one for an 02 and he still sent me a 360 watt. It died in 10,000 miles, let him know you need the 440 or whatever the 99+ models use. But I'd just go with stock even though they keep raising the damn price ever month or so. Fuckers...
