It may be of interest for some people to know , the stator puts out AC current and 19 or more amps , it only takes 1 amp to end all your problems , careful where you put your fingers while running the engine checking current , the regulator converts it to DC current . Dont take my word , look it up yourself.........

If you just sand a tiny bit of the inner primary around the stator you can slide the magnetic cover off, it doesn’t take much, I used to work on a fleet of 52 Harley’s and we found a lot of short cuts

Btw' though I have had a 2005 Harley Fatboy yrs ago, and just got the 2015 last year, with only 19,000 miles on it (mind you) I don't know much about anything when it comes to Motorcycles. So' I definitely enjoyed the video, and I'm definitely going to take a look at the Stator now, that I know exactly where's it at, check it.

If your battery voltage is good like you say it is, then It sounds like your starter might be experiencing “heat soak.” The starters in the softails are the worst to remove. It’s pretty much guaranteed that the oil tank has to be removed. You might be able to squeeze in there and wrap the starter with an insulated wrap to deflect the heat. I know some guy run that stuff on their throttle body to keep temperatures down, surely it should work for a starter, too. Thanks for watching!

Thanks. My new stator did not come with the new 4 bolts. They are hardly torqued down so why can't they be reused? I ask because no one says why. When you put them back in do you put anything on them like red loctite? The manual doesn't say anything. It did say they have a some bead goup on them that breaks when you take them out, but again nothing about putting the same stuff on when you reset them or new ones? What's your take? Thanks again!
@GilstrapGarage3 жыл бұрын
I typically use blue loctite when installing the bolts for the stator. The torque value is really low, but because the bolts are so small, the threads can stretch easily, and that’s why it’s advised to throw them out after they have been used.
