2001 vlx600 stator change

[@DonnaGodwin-if5wh]

Thank you for your video in your detail.That helps me on alarm

[@jklcksmth1991bo]

Very detailed instructions, easy to follow, voice as clear as day, very helpful.My bike has trouble keeping charge. All forums point towards stator. Fingers crossed

[@MackLife87]

Thanks, it’s not a bad fix, after you change the stator and rectifier, be sure to always use a trickle charge while it’s sitting also

Great video! I wish you would do videos about all the maintenance, and repairs, for your Honda VLX 600. This was easy to follow, and listening to your voice was calming and confidence inspiring :) I’ve had my Honda VLX 600 since December of 2021. My first motorcycle, a Yamaha V Star 250, I purchased in February of 2021. I took the Honda from Nebraska to California and then down into Baja Mexico in the spring of 2022. On the two bikes combined, I’ve traveled all over the country, a total of just over 28,000 miles, in the last two years. When I’m away on a trip it’s really nice to understand the maintenance and repair issues. I’m not having any problems with the charging system, but I want to know as much as possible about everything that might go wrong.

Thanks, wow you did some riding, you should vlog some, I did the video due to none available on the fix, I’m just filling the void will do more as issues arise. Hope to ride like you one day across the country, Ride on man🏍

Hey man thanks for the video, my vlx600 connections were completely fried and your video was a massive help getting it out back on the road

[@MackLife87]

No prob, that connection troubled me a while

[@hwmills]

Very helpful! i didn't know about the little cover.

[@rogerboswell5483]

I have a 1988 Honda shadow 600. And mine did not charge anymore so all I did was cut off the burnt connectors and spliced them together again.. It works good now...

[@MackLife87]

Just seen your msg, yea that actually is the fix, I went ahead and replaced it all to be sure, pushed it home a couple times and was fed up lol

[@stevemaki9740]

Thanks bro. Helped me out a lot.

[@OriginalMusic1983]

Thanks for the video man!

[@Dabbinmids]

Thanks for the video 🙏🏻

[@carlosinsunza8491]

Dude fuck yeah thanks so much man !!!

[@daneandrew5507]

The video is fine except for that make sure that you never forget that Rick's regulators and rectifier are much better made than caltrick and last longer

[@MackLife87]

Cool new info to me

[@gvc706]

I liked so much thank boos

[@bryanlowery2456]

Put the top two little gears on the magnetized side of the bike first and then installed the stator and cover. Its a whooooole lot easier.

[@MackLife87]

Thanks, hopefully a while before I gotta do again, thinking about a bobber chop soon tho

[@brennanthomas6643]

@@MackLife87 do it. That’s what I’m doing

[@robertdonnelly3025]

Hi BMack, great video! What kind of hammer did you use to remove the crankcase cover?

[@MackLife87]

Good day, a brass hammer, I believe I used a rag over it also

[@aghost9614]

Man i needed this video! So the stator gets soaked in oil when its running?

[@MackLife87]

Yea when you take it apart oil will spill out

[@abwolfsto6039]

How do you know how tight to put the bolts back on when putting the stator cover back on

[@dukethebrute4557]

Did the stator from Amazon work ?

[@MackLife87]

Yea the Caltric brand works

[@Covert_Op]

Are those extra pieces that you got with the kit to fix the plugs, do those fit on the rectifer itself, or are those the clips that the rectifer plugs into on the bike itself

[@MackLife87]

Yea it was a repair kit for that type of plug, it came with rectifier, I’ll look and see if it’s the male or female not sure, gotta locate in my garage

[@peterpeterpumkineater1097]

Did the caltric parts last ?

[@MackLife87]

Yea still works
