How to Change a Harley Davidson Dyna Stator

Hey guys, after selling my the Dyna to my buddy Kyle, the stator went out. Here, I do a stator replacement! It's a pretty easy process and simple to replace if you have the right tools.

[@ront9395]

Excellent video. I like that you say the fastener sizes and torque values.

[@Barghestmoto]

Great video! I just did this to my 2015 Dyna Wideglide yesterday but it looked way different than your dyna. I even had to remove the inner primary housing to get the rotor out because they changed the geometry just enough inside the primary to where you can't slide the rotor all that way out.

[@72barracuda70]

You were amazing ! I’ve been scared to death to do this but after watching vid after vid you were the best so explanatory and detailed thank you young man.

[@lemonheadgarage]

Glad it was helpful!

Hey buddy, thanks for posting this video and getting me through this repair. Just did it yesterday and I referred to this several times. I couldn't have done it without you. Thanks. Awesome video. 2002 dynamic low rider here. Some minor differences but nothing that would confuse anyone.

[@lemonheadgarage]

Thanks Dale! Really Appreciate it!

[@mattswartzlander5375]

What were the major differences? Doing my 02 Superglide tomorrow.

[@dalejones4322]

@@mattswartzlander5375 It seems like the tensioner was different on mine. I didn't have to take it all the way off. I just had to loosen it and push it down out of the way. Seems like there was one other minor thing I can't bring back to memory but it had to be very minor because I'm not mechanically inclined at all and I was able to do this with the help of this video. My foot rest bolts were hard to get off. Had to use an impact wrench and ended up having to replace them because I messed them up a little. I messed them up trying to use a cheater bar on a Allen head socket and breaker bar. I used the impact wrench after that and it was all it could do to break them loose. The primary gasket was a pain to keep in place while putting the cover back on. In retrospect I would have put something on it to get it to stay in place. The little cover at the gear shifter was a little bit of a pain to get the bolts line back up. Mainly just took some patience. Remember the clutch pack bolt is reverse threads. I knew this and still tried the other way but I'm a bit of a dummy. Good luck buddy it's not bad if you take your time and keep track of your bolts good.

@@mattswartzlander5375 One other thing, I bought the harbor freight aluminum motorcycle jack to do this job. On my Lowrider and maybe your bike too, the oil pan has a piece that hangs down off of it that prevents the bike from sitting on the lift flat so I had to put some small wood in strategic places to get it to sit flat. I made some small little tables to set the tires down on and pulled the lift out of the way. Then I strapped the bike to the tables. I just basically put legs on some corn hole boards lol. It would have been difficult to put the amount of torque needed on the sprocket bolts while the bike was on the lift. No big deal at all on the tables and wouldn't be an issue on the floor either. My old back just couldn't stand working on it that low.

[@dpspike9368]

Thx dude. Good details with the socket sizes, torque specs, reverse thread, and cover tighten pattern. Seeing your charging voltage afterward also helpful.

[@jackseeger7677]

This was insanely helpful, thank you so much for making this

[@ardyrides834]

Good video other than the audio portion. It's difficult to hear what your saying. Its good that you showed how the wires need to be removed from the Connector. When installing the new Stator, wires, and grommet, be sure to clean the hole in the Primary and use RTV silicone on the grommet before you push it into the hole. If not, it will eventually leak oil.

[@lemonheadgarage]

Hey Ardy! Thank you so much for the response! I realize the audio could definitely be better. Also, thanks for the rtv tip! Will definitely keep that in mind.

[@mwhitelaw8569]

Brother The only voltage coming from an inductive source i.e magnets Is alternating current AC the regulators job is turning ac to dc So the battery doesn't explode It places excessive voltage to ground . I'm trying to help not hinder Keep jamming dude Ya got a good thing going brother

[@dimedude]

really great video, really informative. I know I could do this with the correct tools because of this video, but I dont have them, and the investment vs getting a pal to do it with the knowledge and tools is the way for me to go - hopefully at a cost of laughs, several beers (after) and of course an epic ride of the south coast of England

[@Michael-cm5kb]

Man! Hand's DOWN! The best video on YT in this area! Been watching them all day (and night). I gotta get mine fixed ('03 Dyna Low) and have NO idea how to do it! Best friend was the Mechanic. Now he's dead and it's LEARNING TIME! You actually go all the way back to a running bike! I was SO f@&%*#g intimidated. BUT, now I got this. Hold my beer...

[@lemonheadgarage]

Hey Michael, I’m glad this was helpful! Sorry to hear about your buddy. Let me know how it goes! Wishing you luck, it’s not as hard as it looks if you are patient and take your time.

[@andresrubalcava_]

Made it look easy. Thanks man.

[@BoobsAdmin]

Thank you so much for the video!!!

[@hdclassic-sv4sn]

Great video, appreciate it

[@TheSwiftie]

Great video. Thank you!

[@paulg5835]

Great video. Thanks

[@mrbigg7255]

Great video

[@RadDadzPodcast]

What a stud!

[@losteroni]

I ordered that locking tool on ebay but when i went to do the job I couldn't find it ! I ended up using an old piece of motorcycle chain wrapped in a piece of rubber hose . Of course I found the tool later !

[@lemonheadgarage]

That also works!

[@hunterfontana5688]

I’ve never used a tool or anything to keep the chain locked, I just cautiously use a air impact gun has enough force and fast enough to get er loose

[@JaGeer-qz4ld]

Thank you

[@johnrayfield2375]

Good video. One correction. The stator produces AC, the regulstor converts it to DC.

[@dahelsalazar282]

Great 📹

[@vlvtrabbit]

What type of torque wrench are u using Dale?? I cant seem to find one that goes from such low torque to high..thanks for saving me some dealership costs with such an informative & to the point video..

[@lemonheadgarage]

Hi, I was using a Tekton torque wrench! You can find them on Amazon. However, I used two different torque wrenches in order to get a wider range of torque specs!

[@donaldcook6997]

you need two..one for foot pounds...one that is inch pounds

[@jamalymall]

Strong video! Also What seat is that?

[@lemonheadgarage]

Hey! It’s a La pera kick flip!

[@broadybutler6275]

How hard was it to get the compensator bolt off with that tool? Experienced friend of mine told me he has never been able to use a breaker bar. Asking before I buy everything and try myself lmao.

[@lemonheadgarage]

Hi, I just used a breaker bar! But they tend to be pretty tight. You could also use some kind of pipe or the bar from a car jack to help extend your bar. Just make sure you’re breaking and threading the right way!

[@divine_swine9665]

Dude... the bike sounds good (and familiar....) Those Vance & Hines Straight shots? Sounds like my ‘06 Dyna Low Rider. By the way, manual calls for 32oz of fluid... there’s another youtuber who has a manual that he lets anybody and everybody DL for free Edit: 32 oz in Trans, 32 oz in Primary, and 2.5 quarts on a wet oil change (3 quarts on a dry oil change. Unless you’re doing a complete tear down and splitting the case, just stick with 2.5). Also, only check the oil once the bike has reached normal operating temps

[@lemonheadgarage]

Hi! I’m not sure what they are! I’m pretty sure they’re just slip ons. I do love the sound they make. I appreciate it, I actually just got a manual so now I can make sure everything is right!

[@XREIGHNERX]

What year is your Dyna? Wondering just so I know if there’s a difference between the tools I gotta use

[@lemonheadgarage]

Hi, this was on a 1999.

[@MadMexism]

My 2020 softail standard stator gave out, and the bike only has 3K mile. SMH.

[@lemonheadgarage]

No way! Do you have warranty?

[@MadMexism]

@@lemonheadgarage thank God yes. Taking it to the dealership today. Hopefully it doesnt take long to get it back on the road. My bike is another way i get to work on good days. When the weather sucks, i take my car.

[@donaldcook6997]

mine took 2 hrs of tugging and jiggleing to remove magnet...so I cheated...while it was off I tapped the holes so next time it needs to be taken off I can use a puller..will be easier.. wonder why harley did'nt do that..oh wait.. they want you do take to dealer for $90 an hour to fix it..they hate DIYers .

[@stacybaldwin3346]

Good video, but I think I would have changed the clutches also since I was in that deep.

[@kellerjo98]

Well it’s a good thing he didn’t because then all of us who clicked on the video to see this fix would have had to sit through something unrelated, right ?

[@michaelthompson9127]

This video is lacking blood cussing and the throwing of shit it never goes this smoothly lol

[@lemonheadgarage]

Haha! Honestly, this was quite simple. However, I am much aware of the situations you are talking about 🤣

[@bobbywalsh7767]

Nice work... But bike sounds absolutely terrible... Lol

[@lemonheadgarage]

thanks! haha yeah it wasnt the best!
