Stator Removal on a Kawasaki Brute Force 750

[@AutoCrete]

Way more informative than some bottomless pocket youtube videos that show how to load the quad on a trailer and take it to the dealer for repair. I like it!

[@farmertylerranch4399]

Haha nice!

[@sarahcarden2576]

Interesting video! Glad you fix things that go down and not just getting rid of them. I enjoy y'alls videos

"What does a stator do on an ATV? The stator/rotor assembly is collectively known as an alternator. In simple terms, the stator generates the electricity that powers the battery in a motorcycle, ATV or side-by-side, and is therefore responsible for powering the vehicle itself." For those who are wonder'n what that thingy is/was.....:)

[@PaullaWells]

Thank you! I actually had not heard stator before, but was waiting for the build to get to where the question would be answered. Now I don't have to wait!

[@JB-mf1zc]

That's some good info. You would think they would put it on the outside were it is easier to get to. Thanks for the info!

[@farmertylerranch4399]

Thanks Tim yeah I guess I should have mentioned that!

[@194853DodgeTrucks]

lol.....you do all the heavy lifting brother, I'm just yacking on the sidelines.

Hola companiero tengo un fallo de kawasaki 750 brut force no tiene tchispa ala bojia no fonsiona pompa de combostible gasolina gracias

[@larrytremarki9458]

Nice job Tyler, it never fails when ever you're working on something there's always some misc. parts that should of been ordered that we forget to. Lol keep up the good work!!

[@virginiareid5336]

It is always so interesting to watch you work on your equipment. Most people would have to take this to a shop. Hope your parts are delivered soon.

[@davidsmith6762]

Thanks for posting! I need to tackle stator removal on a Honda Fourtrax so this is very timely. From what I've read, the Fourtrax is mot mesrly as complicated...hopefully! Great work!

[@farmertylerranch4399]

Yeah I have a Recon (Honda) that I think needs one too. I can’t imagine the Honda’s are this involved!

[@wykeishacraft6820]

I'll been the mess up everything. You are a great animal and farm care taker. I enjoyed your video and thanks for sharing.

[@teamstucker624]

Great video 👍 That stator has definitely seen better days for sure. Thanks for sharing. Have a great weekend.

[@jankotze1959]

Very nice step by step explanation, you have one of the coolest intro's, like it

[@cherylwilliams81]

Remy is such a big help! Hope you have a great weekend!💕

[@jjcactusandsucculents-open2156]

That was Cool Tyler! Can't what to see the next one! Thank you for sharing!

[@ardurbin2]

A+ for editing of a GREAT instructional video Tyler. The cows on the FTR are lucky 2 have an owner with so much patience & the little cowgirl will appreciate U as she grows. Did U learn 2 B so patient from your Grandpa? 👍👏😊

[@farmertylerranch4399]

Thanks Allan, and good question! I guess maybe so, he was patient with me!

[@johnkranias3458]

Thanks for sharing Tyler.

[@nadeenflynn9673]

Very sequential and informative even with the challenges. So typical for a job like this. And Remi helped.

[@robertsimmons3556]

Noel Henderson has a good point. I know you see that too and will also follow the burned wires beyond the cannon plug. Just an arm chair guys opinion LOL....Another enjoyable day on the FTR... keeping the equipment running....Strong work Tyler!!

[@hvlineman5227]

Odd how the melted coils were isolated to one side of the stator. Great find tho. Love these videos thanks for sharing.

[@j.r.5882]

Looks like you worked your partner to hard !! Had to go to bed !!! Or maybe all those treats for being a good boy made him tired !! Lol Thanks again Tyler Have a great weekend !!

[@noelhenderson8095]

If theirs an oil seal anywhere near the stator id change it thats definately oil it must be leaking oil from a seal there i only come to that conclusion considering everything else is clean considering the stator should be a shiny copper maybe because the plug was a bit burnt up the top was becsuse all the oil was screwing with the power output

[@ardurbin2]

Absolutely, U could see the oil on the copper.

[@stevescarboro7342]

But why only in one area? I would think the whole stator ring would be wet or at least the bottom. But then I’ve never changed a stator.

[@farmertylerranch4399]

Thanks Noel, yes there is an oil seal right there that I was going to replace anyway. Could be it failed and caused things to short out? Who knows

[@noelhenderson8095]

@@farmertylerranch4399 hope you get it sorted and all works out well

[@coyroberts8356]

And the plot thickens..... Thanks

[@crslyrn]

Oh the joys of older things. Nice work getting the 4 wheeler apart. Yep, just when you think you've got everything you need for the job, you end up finding that one thing you forgot to or should've gotten while getting the parts. LOL I laugh cause I've been there & done that several times over the years. Stay safe.

[@growapair3880]

Great information and wrenching work on the Kawasaki I'm on this job today the torque specs on the pulley bolt is only 89lbs why the heavy duty DeWalt impact won't take the pulley bolt off is beyond me my DeWalt impact will take off 150lbs of torqued bolts or nuts off and I can't get my pulley bolt off today! 😂 I don't have the air impact like you do I Hate working on Brute force machine's! 😂 great video!

[@amandaandBooster]

Awesome vid bud 😊

[@RandWFarmstead-TonyWalsh]

Another great video by FTR

[@sebastiengauthier2785]

Did the same thing in my Brute Force but when I did it there was no video to help me with it so thanks your video is well explained 👍

[@farmertylerranch4399]

Yeah I was surprised there is no video on this yet, because it’s pretty well talked about in the forums so I know other people have had the same problem. Just waiting on a radiator hose then she’ll go back together

[@WormHoleFarming]

As usual, one thing always leads to another. Hopefully it didn't short-out anything else. On an other note almost 20K on the subs. Way to go son.

[@farmertylerranch4399]

Thanks Worm Hole! Almost there!

[@btowannab9232]

👏👏👍 good job FTR

[@westhigginsorv]

Hey buddy, this is Piston Honda's new KZbin channel. It needed a branding change. :) I still love watching your videos1

[@farmertylerranch4399]

Nice thanks for the update PY!

[@tremainebarbour4396]

Nice video

[@lewismcrae5270]

Awesome thank you excellent information

[@relaxingnature2617]

Your video is really great ..thanks

[@mikebonge7206]

Always waiting on parts. I thought it be a lot harder coming apart

[@ilovemydad1416]

Awesome

[@guybever8935]

Like learning stuff like this.

[@alanclark6761]

What drove you to target the stator? If I remember it just quit running while you were spraying.

[@farmertylerranch4399]

Few things, the brand new battery died after running all day, the fan started turning slow, numerous electrical items started behaving weird, and the motor didn’t quit just wouldn’t run right so figured weak spark. All signs point to the charging system!

[@bcpfarmandtrucking6560]

That's how it always goes...start fixing something and the parts list grows

[@sdelony]

You really broke it now 😄

[@farmertylerranch4399]

Haha!

[@shellymb]

I like your fixing your grandfather s tractor series.

[@billreal76]

"Never done it before" never stopped a rancher or a farmer. The 'easy' part was to take it apart. Now you gotta get it back together.

[@honkytonkman123]

When you pulled cover off, was the stator sitting in engine oil

[@messianichebrewshawnkawcak1550]

It pays to be mechanically inclined. Figuring out how things release can be a chore at time.

[@TylerBunchanumbers]

I don't normally cuss, but when I do, it's usually this type of work that provoked it. 🙂

[@Pam_Doddridge]

I would be worried about putting it all back together.

[@boathead22000]

WHY

[@Pam_Doddridge]

Marshall Jones not for him but if I was doing it.

[@jasonmushersee]

12V sprayer pump? watch your amps. maybe run accessories off another battery like the old forklifts. i've burned up delco remy alternators putting too many lights on tractors for night fieldwork

[@farmertylerranch4399]

The sprayer runs off a little Honda motor, so it wasn’t that. Really wasn’t running any accessories, not even lights. It just plain wore out I guess!

[@jeangibson5680]

Very interesting Tyler!

[@sallycoleman7847]

i just pulled the side cover off and the pickup coil little plate that goes on with the screws looks like someone must have put it on upside down ,it is bent flat with shinny scrape marks ,would this make it miss and back fire , i just bought it not running 2005 kfx 700 are they an adjustment on this if i can find a good one / new one ? ~ thanks for your reply

[@farmertylerranch4399]

I’m not aware of an adjustment for that. Whether this is what’s causing the problem or not is hard to say but I’d say it needs to be fixed either way!

[@halibut1249]

When you run into a snag, a 20 lb sledge hammer and a crowbar can usually get you where you want to go. No guarantees about getting back, though.

[@mudwhore7328]

Hey hey farmer Dan what year is your brute it looks like my 2008

[@tammysarrazin7078]

what exactly does a stator do ?? behind the white reservoir there looks like some hay/straw maybe a mouse nest ?? hugssssss from ontario canada

[@farmertylerranch4399]

It’s basically the same as the alternator in your car. Charges the battery, powers the electrical system. I know I know, boooorrrriiiinnnngggggg!! Haha!

[@aaroncurtis8060]

Can I ask what some of the symptoms were with this project? My dad is having issues with his 2012 750 v twin brute force , it has sat for over a month and it fired right up we took it for a ride about 2 miles long there and back and when we pulled into camp he shut it off to let it cool , when he went to start it it was like the battery was stone cold dead , it has a new battery less then a yr old, new silenoid hes being told , the voltage regulator is the issue or the starter, and stater , he don't want to just throw a bunch of parts at it not knowing or having a clue , can u give us some advice or pointers here ?

[@farmertylerranch4399]

If you have a volt meter it should be fairly easy to narrow it down. Assuming you haven’t done anything to it since it died in camp, put the tester on the battery. With the engine off it should read just over 12 volts (like 12.2 or 12.3). If it’s low odds are the stator is bad and not charging. To double check this, charge the battery up and start the engine. At idle your battery should read around 14 volts on the volt meter if the stator is working properly. If the battery won’t charge or smells like sulfur, then the voltage regulator isn’t working and it cooked the battery. If the battery checks out good and the quad still won’t start then my guess is the starter is bad. Lastly, the moment I looked at and smelled the stator I knew that was the issue! It sounds like it’s the starter in your case. With a stator issue the quad would have started running bad, lights quit working, fan runs slow or not at all, then the engine would die on its own. And on a fully charged battery it would have taken hours for these symptoms to arise. Good luck!

[@aaroncurtis8060]

@@farmertylerranch4399 thanks for the advice and for getting back to me after doing this I found the voltage regulator not doing what it is supposed to be doing and the voltage before the start was 12.38 volts while running the voltage just dropped and continued to there was 15.4 at the stator and nothing coming from the regulator so that leads me to believe the voltage regulator crapped out on him . New one is ordered and will be here soon thanks again

[@Diegoperez-qn6pt]

What size bolts did you use to push the ring of the start pulley?

[@tinalee6]

Hey can you tell me what other parts you ordered was it like gaskets or what? Pls answer and thank you

[@farmertylerranch4399]

Yeah I’ll have a list in the next installment of this series. Off the top of my head I got a gasket for the pull start, water pump gasket and seals, case gasket, crankshaft seal, and...that’s all that comes to mind at the moment.

[@bartongsbartongs3793]

When you put the large stator cover back on. How much did you torque all the bolts down? I am doing the same project.

[@farmertylerranch4399]

I didn’t torque them, just went on feel. Sorry I know that’s not very helpful!

[@michaelschafer8876]

What problems does a bad stator cause?

[@farmertylerranch4399]

Battery not charging, dim headlights, rough engine, no run. Pretty much in that order too!

[@calvary1808farm]

No stripped screws or busted bolts? No excessive cursing?! Must be staged! 😁 Good job getting that apart.

[@farmertylerranch4399]

Stripped screws? No. Cursing?...well... all I can say is that’s just good editing!

[@levikleinsasser9067]

What is a stator

[@farmertylerranch4399]

Basically it’s like an alternator on your car

[@colesteven1123]

Lol got ur first hater? Whos thumbs down is that 🙄😆

[@farmertylerranch4399]

Definitely not the first!
