How To Test A Trail Tech Stator

[@TheEleveneleven1111]

One of the best instructional videos I've ever seen. Great Job.

[@VroomBroomZoom]

Agreed

[@barthchris1]

Good job! thought I might add that when checking shorts to the stator you really need to make sure to get down to bare metal, not doing so will give a false reading if there is a coil to stator short. Just tapping the meter lead to the stator isn't going to work in most cases. Stators are made of many laminated/insulated stacked steel sheets, this helps eddy currents from robbing efficiency and producing heat.

[@HushhY]

The absolute best tutorial ive come across. helped so much, thank you. good video

[@Mr65Mee]

Great - easy to understand ... I got a E-TON VIPER 50 ST with no spark . have been checking everything ,switches , wires still no spark. Repaired a switch . and a connection connector . but still got the problem . now time to check the stator and pi up unit. Its an old bike someone been doing some a lot of changes on it . It's fun working on it . ( retired old man nothing better to do ) just enjoying it.

[@luragg6008]

Perfect explaination for someone who never did such a thing! Top man! I hope I will fix my bike soon!

[@pipewelda]

Just FYI for any future videos.That "AUDIO SYMBOL" is called the continuity symbol. Thank you for the video though big help.

[@jonbromfield7643]

Excellent video. Good graphics and explained

[@lilman1796]

Hello, everyone this video is just what i need to fix my 1964 Tomos ,thanks for the video braynt ☆☆☆☆☆☆

[@foesfly3047]

When checking resistance (ohms) between the two output leads, is it possible to have too little resistance? If mine reads only 0.1 or 0.2, is my stator bad?

[@belto_80]

Exellent video Braynt! Perfectly explain! Thanks hopefully it helps me find my problem with my bike.

[@olehansen6655]

Hi when u check omh and it says 20 ohms. I cant do that test i only have 3 single yellow wires. So do i do that test , all the other tests are good. My first ohm test, like urs was 0.8 so it must be good on that also

[@bikersoncall]

I thought I heard you say the two yellow wires were lighting , later they/it (?) was/were battery charging wire/s, in which case I guess one yellow would go to a rectifier (?) , maybe it doesn't matter which one connects to rectifier and which one is used for lighting?. Is one of the yellows lighting and one for charging? If your stator comes with just one yellow wire, then that would likely be for lights period?

[@matthale5765]

Thank you- beautifully clear and very useful! Can I do this with the stator on the bike- wires un plugged so available as in your bench test?

[@otakatikmotor4874]

can we put that yelow wire for charging to oem stator crf250r 🙏..

[@chrisbayley9785]

How do you test for shorted turns? ie. if the coil has a 100 turns and 1 turn is shorted to itself it won't change the DC resistance of the but it will nullify most of the output of it.

[@jloveatl]

One of the best video ever on utube

[@bobbymckinney1264]

Will a stator work in oil my 99 suzuki gz250 has oil in the stator no spark issues?

[@queenslander954]

Are these the same test procedures for a 3 phase stator ?

[@juangalvan9570]

Thank you soooo much. This video explains everything perfect and quick.

[@Guds777]

I my stator has the continuity okey and the resistance is okay but it is not giving enough charge to the battery at higher rev, then what might be the problem. And the battery is 1 year old and does hold charge...

[@jackas1583]

Thank you very much for a valuable lesson

[@HnRe42]

My problem is my bike idles great, but struggles under a load. I'm told its the stator. But I'm also told it bench test and ohms out good. I'm lost.

[@MrBoomtheroom]

so this stator doesnt need a rectifier?

[@cherontippettcherontippett9579]

I've got a road registered pitbike a Braaap SS I have an electric start yx150cc in it ,and one of the yellow charge wires from the stator was going to a green wire on the rec/reg ,the stator seems to be to hot, as I've never had charge problems with this type of motor,its still charging but not enough

[@mitchellgarcia3532]

1999 ktm lc4 640 Tested stator on the bike. The green and white wire tested at 100 ohms is this within spec? Much appreciated

[@larzzi1591]

i tested my stators ignition wires like you showed in the video but instead of the continuous beep it just beeped once then went silent Note: multimeter does the continuous beep with other wires. what could be the problem? the ignition wire terminal or the wires itself?

[@age_of_reason]

These instructional videos are great and all but you really need to have a repair manual for your specific vehicle and go by that. Your bike may have a different stator then the one in this video. You get the gist here but to get a 100% accurate assessment follow the manual.

[@Great_XicoZe]

Great video! Hope you can help on this issue: A few days ago, while riding my SYM VS 125, a lot of smoke started coming out of the front of the bike and the engine started to fail. I turned off the ignition and cut the battery current. At home I took it apart to see what was going on and the rectifier was visibly burnt. I took the bike to a workshop where they changed the rectifier and the battery, but they didn't solve the problem. The new rectifier continues to heat up a lot and too fast, as if something is short circuiting. As they couldn't solve the problem and it still cost me a few €€, I picked up the motorcycle with the fault. Tests i have done: - the battery is new and has 13.1V before the starter - with the three yellow wires from the stator connected to the rectifier, the bike works fine at low revs, fails at medium and the rectifier heats up uncontrollably; with these wires disconnected from the rectifier, the bike works well at any speed, but as we know, the battery is not charged - at idle the 3 yellow wires measure about 40V from stator - the resistant test on stator show equal values on three wires; no ground conductivity; no open circuit on each coil - apparently all the masses are well connected. Any idea what it could be causing this recurrent failure of the rectifier? Note: traditional G6Y carburetor engine with electronic rectifier and CDI, year 2010.

[@markyoung9027]

I have a lot of shorts in my dresser drawer drawer that I have to sort out it doesn't beep but I know they're there

[@Vothtrucks]

and how do I know which wires are for ignition ?

[@KingKong-zq6so]

Best video by far!

[@270raptor]

My ignition side of stator has 3 wires , one is ground in thinking ? The ohm meter beeps on that one . Please help

[@criscasimiro8417]

I BADLY NEED HELP PLS ...TNXZ IF THEIRS A REPLY..IWANT TO KNOW THE RIGHT WIRING OF A 5PINS RECTIFIER TO STATOR???

[@Freddy-zy5uy]

Hy when i meassure the ohms i get 0.7 all wires..evrything is good how i measure same with the video but i dont get any voltage to the cables when bike is running

[@ΓρηγορηςΣπανοδημητριου]

hi man..i check my stator as like you show...all the results show that the stator is ok...but when i start the engine i check the volt and gives only 5.5v...i have a honda cm 125 6v system...you have any idea whats happen..??

[@justinyancy]

These are testing instructions for our stators. Not an OEM stator. For the OEM stator testing you would need to contact Honda on how to test it and the values that you should have.

[@abilmanogs8116]

I recently replace my atv engine The previous stator had a yellow and a white wire (which simply matched up with the wiring loom) The new engine stator had two yellow wires(no white one) Can I just connect one of the yellow wires to the white one. And the other yellow to yellow regardless

[@ridingdirty2412]

Yep. It's AC coming from the stator. Either to either is fine.

[@abilmanogs8116]

@@ridingdirty2412 thanx man

[@vincemotorider8143]

Nice vidéo that doesnt take 25 min to watch! Thanks

[@Broken_AK47]

wait im lost. i have over 5 workshop manuals ( i have one for a yamaha vino open right now ) and they ALL say that there must be continuity to ground from yellow or white. something is wrong there buddy... even on a gy6 scooter there must be continuity. is it a different type of stator ? it look identical to mine on my gy6 scooter

[@stang1970]

Just for anyone watching this, this is for testing their stator. This won't work for a factory stator

[@andrewperera4270]

I tested my new stator only hearing the beep on yellow wires not with red and blue why? it's brand new stator. Any comments?

[@bonganishaka6465]

I also didn't get a beep on the two wires jst a reading of 202

[@kayone8571]

[@ciprianofrancisco9798]

Hi i need help i fixed my yamaha phazer 480 piston and when i put it back together there's no spark on my spark plugs but the lights come on everytime i pull the pull start and before i was going to fix it there was what could the problem be?

[@trailtechinc]

Unfortunately there are a ton of things that could be causing this. I would recommend contact a Yamaha service center to get the proper troubleshooting steps to figure out what your problem could be.

[@tehjmarraymond9124]

Great video. However, I know you said that this a bench test, but can you do the same test if the stator is already in the bike?

[@lexusry]

WHEN I HOOK 2 YELLOW WIRES, I GOT 4.5 VOLT A/C AT IDLE AND 11 VOLTS A/C AT 2000 RPM. IS THAT TOO LOW

[@marklee7759]

Great job with the video. Clear instructions. Would have been good if you had covered how to test when the stator is installed in the bike. Also, I was wondering where you would look for proper resistance ranges for each of the circuits.

[@trailtechinc]

You can contact our tech support department at [e-mail] and they can get you helped out.

[@cherontippettcherontippett9579]

do both yellow wires from the sator go to the yellow wires on the rec/reg ,one of mine was going to the green wire on the rec/reg its was charging but not enough

[@trailtechinc]

It would all depend on the stator and the reg/rec. Our video is just discussing how to test our stators. I would recommend checking with the manufactures wiring diagram to see how yours should be connected.

[@findvoltage]

is this single phase yeah?

[@wingedbull1257]

How many Volts, watts, Amps it produce?

[@Zach-ju5vi]

Good video. Unfortunately I have changed out many stators that have passed all these tests and ended up fixing the issue. Never 100% count on a bench tested stator to be a good stator. If the stator doesn't pass the tests then you have a good idea what the problem is.

[@datboilarry_8219]

Will a bad stator cause the bike not to light up at all?

[@Zach-ju5vi]

@@datboilarry_8219 yes and no. Sometimes it will cut out spark sometimes it will just stop charging the battery, it depends on how the system is wired. I enjoy helping people with this type of thing so feel free to ask as many questions as you want.

[@bikersoncall]

I guess the more reliable test would be to gather operating voltages, ie; kicking or cranking the engine over while taking voltage readings. shrugs..

[@sicmic74]

Sweet video, much appreciated 🙂

[@dannygonzalez4017]

What if mine all mark 0.00

[@stsdoe9706]

Question what do you think about the Ricky Stator good yes or no

[@briandehate5414]

Good

[@MegaTattoo69]

You still need to keep in mind even though bench testing this turns out to be good, once these components heat up there could be a short to ground once you heat up, so it would be good to test this on the bike after you run the motorcycle for a little bit and have everything hot... Or if you suspect this being bad. test it before you remove it while it is hot, metal tends to expand...

[@slickfixjeff]

I assume this is the same for any stator, like a jetski? Thanks

[@ansmerek]

A resistance measurement only at room temperature is not sufficient to verify a stator is good. When a stator starts to fail, they often fail only when they get to operating temperature. I have a box of motorcycle stators at home that measure in spec for resistance and do not work properly. Most provide weak spark when cold and no spark when hot. A resistance measurement is only going to tell you if the stator has totally failed, it does not tell you the stator is going to work

[@robsnizzle79]

Thanks guys, really helpful vid. I'll be doin this to my bike after work... gotta do process of elimination.🤦‍♂️😩

[@hellkristia9]

hey! my friend gave me 3 stators and said their grounding isnt working... where stator should be grounded from?

[@justinyancy]

+hellkristia9 That would all depend on the stator and what it is in. Some stators have a grounding lug on the body of the stator. Other stators have a ground lead off of the stator that is supposed to connect to a frame ground. I would recommend contacting the manufacture of the stator to find out how it is supposed to be grounded.

[@leebrown3056]

What bike was this off?

[@daveerickson320]

testing at the plug, when you 1st hit the start switch, i get a spark for about 2 - 3 cranks, then i get no spark for about 5 - 6 cranks, then as i continue cranking the motor over, i 'll a couple more sparks, and then nothing again ???????

[@trailtechinc]

What is this on? Year, make, model? Is it the OEM stator?

[@daveerickson320]

2002 Yamaha Kodiak 400 4x4 ATV

[@daveerickson320]

It is the original stator.

[@trailtechinc]

Unfortunately we do not have any info on how to test that stator or troubleshoot it. This instructional video for for the testing of a Trail Tech Stator. I would recommend contacting a Yamaha service center on how to troubleshoot this correctly.

[@daveerickson320]

Ok, thanks. How i discribed what it's doing, did that tell you it could be the stator ??????

[@xhariszxmtbenduro8550]

[@nathaneberline1067]

Hey Driftingabstract what was your symptoms? I have the trail tech stator kit as well and have a weird popping onve the bike warms up I know this is 5 yrs ago but figured I would ask 😉

[@kbyrd4318]

enjoyed the video...it was educational.

[@tramppasamppa223]

it doesnt peep on 2 of the wires is it good or bad

[@barthchris1]

No beep between the two wires means a broken coil/wire, this is not good. A beep from any of the wire leads off the stator/coils to the steel stator itself is bad, that means the coil has shorted. Time for a new stator.

[@cherontippettcherontippett9579]

really appreciate your time n help

[@renaldomarshall5192]

i have a problem where the startor starts the bike but their is not charging back for the battery

[@bomareurofor]

did you solve the problem? I have the same problem and electricians do not know what the problem is. I have new stator, new magneto, it has ground, bike starts but no voltage for lights.

[@petrosmp8502]

is anyone know the diameter of the coil wire (the thick that is used for lights) ?

[@gratefulforlifeandkindness]

How much is the tool

[@cherontippettcherontippett9579]

you say the charge wires are the most common to fail,what is the most common cause for them to fail

[@trailtechinc]

Heat is the most common cause of failure. When the motor gets overheated the oil gets extremely hot and actually starts to cook the stator. This will eventually cause the stator to fail.

[@kudafoolhu]

Will a faulty stator damage the rectifier

[@lirimi23gamescool]

These troubleshooting instructions are for our stators that have a floated ground. For correct testing procedures for your stator you will want to contact the manufacture.
