Kawasaki Vulcan VN750 stator replacement without removing the engine

[@jamesdecarlo6829]

It is a whole lot easier to make two cuts and remove the 8 inches of frame,If the cuts are straight it goes back with welding,Just make sure the ends to be welded are clear of debris

[@simpinainteasy680]

Glad I found this video before I went to go buy the bike. I doubt if I will now not because I can't do the job but because I don't want to. Thanks again

[@Christian.jsf1]

Wow nice job! That car at the end looks awesome too

[@bstevens322]

Just got done doing this mod and works great,thanks for the video

[@rkdy6364]

who did you order your plate from? If "GCEXTREME" did you have any issues with plate from him? A few others are throwing shade on his plates on the VN 750 form. Please let me know? TIA

[@L2fish]

I have pulled the engine to do this job. This is a good mod. Especially on a 30 plus year old bike. Only problem is that the vibration dampeners are sometimes worn and you wouldn't see them

[@alterwalter6907]

Absolutely right

[@maestroland9345]

Excellent tutorial vid. Thanks 😁

[@twinklermystik7644]

I have a VN1500 that needs a new stator too. Got the new one in yesterday, and I do't think highly of the quality. Going from one winding to the next, they're going to make contact with bare metal. Even with a varnish coating, add an amount of vibration and they'll short to ground. I'm going to (very carefully) arrange for just a little clearance there before I mount it in. It's easy to see why they fail. A short to ground will wipe out the rectifier/regulator too.

[@johningram2153]

Thanks for mentioning that grinder you were using, at the end of the video. I wondered what that was. I have a Harbor Freight nearby. Love that place.

[@harv0000xx]

I purchased the grinder at Harbor Freight Tools, about $25. For the bit I used a 1/8 inch drill bit, as it got dull I would cut off the dull end.

[@GCEXTREMEMN]

harv0000xx are u still on here? U got my email or are u on fb?

[@viscompulsiva362]

When I removed the old stator wires I pulled the rubber plug out of the case, so I now have oil leaking pretty badly from around the yellow wires. I'm trying, (so far unsuccessfully), to stop the leak by filling in around them with Permatex Ultra Blue Silicone. For anyone who asks, in the forum, or elsewhere, how to deal with the wiring from the stator, here is my suggestion. This is how I'd do it, if I had do-overs, which I don't. First, cut the bullet connectors off and remove the rubber plug from the new stator harness. Then solder the new wires to the old ones inside the stator compartment. Now, pull them ONE AT A TIME and VERY CAREFULLY, through the old rubber plug. Then install new bullet connectors on those wires.

[@zachpalmer947]

were you able to fix that leak?

[@viscompulsiva362]

@@zachpalmer947 the permatex ultra Blue did not work. Pretty much got it stopped by putting epoxy around the wires and the hole. Drips a little, but not bad. If you need to do this clean up the wires and the whole area with isopropyl alcohol prior to using the epoxy.

[@bodiedominguez]

Thanks for the info. I just bought a 750 that has that issue.

[@alterwalter6907]

During this process, I am very much afraid that the aluminum chips will get into the engine when the part is milled and later cause greater damage to the engine.

[@RicFlair3333]

very nice job Mr. Harv. I am much like yourself and pretty mechanical...I will attempt this mod next week. Good Job.

[@br2play714]

Dit it work Well?

[@5TRYD4]

Great vid awesome bike I have 1 too , good job and thanks for filming...

[@mtd0766]

You're a good guy. Really nice video. Hope the bike is till going. I have a 91 750 and an 08 VN900.

[@davidwright873]

Please don't do this...PLEASE don't do this! first off, you'll never be able to resell....metal shavings in your engine???!!! are you kidding???? cut the frame...cutt the frame!! even if someone has to come over and reweld...fine...DONT DO THIS!!! EVER!!!

[@StoversMotors]

Daaaaang! Glad to see it worked out for ya, dont think I would of had the guts to cut it out haha

[@LamplughVideo]

Is this bike still running fine? No stator issues since this mod?

[@mbsnyderc]

Having done this job before the old fashioned way This would take longer and risk damage to the engine if i was going to do this it would be with the engine out for the next time.there is a company that will modify your case for you as i looked it up at the time i did it.

[@MGreen-vz6yb]

Man talk about afro rigging, that takes the cake! Just pull the motor and do it right.

[@guesswho4671]

He is white its called "jimmy riggin".. There was no afro engineering involved.. An he saved alot of money and time doing it the way he did..

[@mbsnyderc]

@@guesswho4671 He might have saved a little time but how did he save any money.

[@guesswho4671]

@@mbsnyderc from not having to pay for it to be done is what i was referring too, and if he was to do it the shop way he would of been paying for new gaskets, bolts, and other random shit that decided to break upon takedown.

[@davidmenzies333]

Agreed this is the most hillbilly shit I’ve ever seen. Reusing cover that was cut, adding gaskets and screws that shouldn’t be there.... yeah what could go wrong

[@cr123-cn]

After owning it for a week, I think that I need a new stator on my 2005 vn750. I am no mechanic and am terrified to remove/INSTALL!!! the entire engine and nearly all other assemblies. I am considering this stator mod. Where did you order that machined plate? Am I able to purchase one from the same place?

[@JojoCrazyCat]

Im wondering why they didnt make it so it came out like that.

[@mirza531983]

He did but in new model,i have 1994 model and stator go out after 20min of work:) but this guy didnt know that...

[@jesseburns9825]

@@mirza531983 how did you remove it

[@spignetti]

That there is called a 'design flaw.'....like my ex wife..a design flaw...

[@andyzman4387]

With all the work you did you could have just done it the right way..took one day.. I pulled the motor aside then removed the cover.. you don't need to take out the motor just move it aside 3 or 4 inches.. that plate thing might work but the stator has to be precise.

[@monkieisboss6441]

my question is can you flish the stator with cerosine too? reason i ask is becasue i pulled the stator off another bike doing this same thing. now i have shaving on the actual stator and i dont want to ruin the stator by flushing it with something im not supposed to

[@Ladosligese]

Why do this again ? its ofc to reduce time right when changing the stator .. but how often is that beeing done ? .. i ofc also thinks that this should be factory

[@motocicletasbrasil6442]

Good Morning. My name is Fabio, I am with a vulcan that is failing on high, in fact it is not even going up very much the turn. begins to overflow. I need to know the strength of the wrist coil. you can help me? in which the wires were made as well. Thank you very much.

[@kingsolomon4392]

what is the orientation for the pick up/stator pulse wire? I tried to cut around them and the bending of the wire cause them to break. yellow w black wire on top? or red w black?

[@vaqueirogyn]

On my I change the stator the regulator rectifier and the battery but the bike still not charging, what I can do now!!??

[@robertbarrett9921]

Good job

[@mml1224]

can anyone tell me at what mileage you have to replace the stator on a 900 classic, and on newer bikes 2014-19, is the replacement still involve removing block?...........

[@mikeblake6265]

What year is this on and is every year like this

[@fromcreationtochrist9349]

Yes all years are the same on the 750. From1986 up.

[@mirza531983]

You dont know nothing,i have same model, but 1994, and stator go out easy afer 20min of work hahaahhahahaa

[@devin6661000]

what drill thing did u use and where to get one

[@solimargarcia707]

Ótimo trabalho muito bom

[@dannyjohnson8369]

I need a stator plate cover where can I get one.

[@porkins93]

Is it the same on the 1600?

[@keeponcruisin7876]

Why wouldn't anyone just pull that side of the crank case off with it at the same time and replace the stator in the crank case on the bench then reassemble?

[@ramdeenmotie9242]

i had changed the alternator on my vulcan and was pissed off with having to remove the engiene ,,i tough of chopping off the bottom frame and bollt it back just as the opposite side ,,i think this would have been easier to do than removing the engiene ,,

[@cr123-cn]

Did you remove the entire thing yourself successfully? I am afraid of reassembling it incorrectly and having to do the entire process over again.

[@lexirose2096]

What's up, Looks interesting. cloistered juvenile What's your opinion about that !!

[@mastanate01]

How is the cork gasket holding up? I did this to my bike last year. The high temp rtv sealant I used leaks a bit.

[@harv0000xx]

+Nathan Miller Hello, after a few hundred miles I noticed an oil drip. I replaced the cork gasket and put some gasket eliminator sealant on it. A few hundred miles later I still had an oil drip, about two drips overnight. The leak was coming from someplace else.

[@harv0000xx]

+Nathan Miller The gasket leaked a little bit. I made a new gasket and painted both sides of it with a black rubbery cement. Let it dry overnight before reassembly. So far it seems to be working ok

[@bodatiousblkpnthr]

Mine is a 1990 Vulcan 750. I am also i need of the machined plate. I like this mod, but will have my mechanic do work. Where can the plate be ordered? Thank you in advance for your help.

[@harv0000xx]

+Laura Clemons I've modified the video to include the suppliers. You can also see the suppliers If you click on "show more" below the video in the comments section. I'm not sure if "show more" can be seen using a cell phone.

It's not a Mod., it's a short cut.

use a drill and bits from a rotozip does the same thing.

[@viscompulsiva362]

what bit would you use for that aluminum?

[@neilobao10]

Não precisa nada disso! Trabalho de preguiçoso e armengueiro! É só deslocar o motor para trás e soltar a tampa que sustenta o extrator.

[@mattarmentrout1224]

That looks like a lot of bs work for nothin. it took you 4 hours to rip it apart. I did one the factory way, removing the engine yesterday and it only took me 2 hours to rip it apart and pull the stator. So why do it this way.....?

[@bhgentry]

should have posted a video

[@jcaashby]

I have a 94 VN 750 in my shop now. I think Ill just pull the engine. I would be worried about the mod failing for my customer. Plus the time this mode takes id rather take that time and do it correctly.
