NoOne65 Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 I found a Rick's stator on ebay for $75...except I didnt do my research to confirm IT WOULD FIT MY '97. With all of the trouble I have been having with my charging system do you all think i could use it with 99+ REGULATOR? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redxxrdr Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Differences thread link It looks like 99. Had the largest stator and a R/r to match. not sure about your Ricks stator output. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XXitanium Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Hmmmn, I just sent Rick's an email asking if I could still send back my core. 40 minutes ago, NoOne65 said: While I was only looking for opinions I am thankful for the link! It's an excellent question. Will the older R/R hold up with the newer stator? Are they "sized" differently? $75.00 is a nice price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superhawk996 Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 (edited) The newer regulator is more robust to handle the higher output stator so if you put in the newer stator it's a match, if you use an older lower output stator the regulator won't have to work as hard and should live longer. Using a high power stator with a regulator designed for low power would probably shorten its life. Edit: Forgot to say that putting a higher output stator on a 97 will put more load on the regulator since the bike uses less power to run. Here's something I've been pondering. Wouldn't installing resistors in the stator output wires lower the load on both the stator and regulator? For those who don't need it's full output potential it would seem like a cheap way of extending the life of both.

NoOne65 Posted May 16, 2016 Author Share Posted May 16, 2016 I just went ahead and got the mosfet unit from Jack at roadstercycle.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
