RG500 Rebuild Part 4 stator wire

RG500 stator wire must be held away from the rotor. Suzuki put a threaded boss and a retaining pin into the lower case just for a stator wire holder. Left unrestrained, the RG500 stator wire will intermittently rub against the ignition rotor, which will cause it to short out the stator during a ride. It can only fail during a ride, because the wire rubs when bumps are hit. Be sure to install some sort of stator wire retainer.
