Will a motorcycle run if the stator is bad?
Without a stator, your motorcycle will not get any spark at all as your battery is not capable of supplying the appropriate power levels to generate a spark. As a result, if your stator is going bad your motorcycle will run very poorly. Eventually, your stator can prevent your motorcycle from starting at all.
What causes a stator to burn out?
A bad diode in a rectifier will dump AC current into a system. The AC current heats up the stator and the heat destroys the insulation and ultimately carbonizes it turning it into a low resistance brick.
What happens if you have a bad stator on a motorcycle?
What’s the best way to cure a bad stator?
After coating the stator, you will want to cure it in an oven at 300 degrees for about 30 minutes. Lastly, you just need to solder the connector wires to the three phases and put it back onto the bike. It should run like new again. Your stator will last quite a long time if you take proper care of it.
When to buy a new stator for your engine?
I devised this system when the stator on my Honda XR-100 got so weak that it couldn’t power the spark plug, preventing the engine from running. The stator on my model happened to be discontinued, and I didn’t want to buy a used one for over $100 when this particular stator is known for being weak and prone to failure.
How is a stator attached to an engine?
First the easy: attaching the negative (black) wire going to the engine. This wire can be attached to any conductive part of the engine assembly. On cars and motorcycles the metal parts of the engine are in electrical contact with each other, which causes them to make up one large electric terminal.

How does the stator work on an engine?
The stator is made up of windings that produce alternating current electricity. As the magnets on the flywheel spin around the windings when the engine is running. This AC electricity is used by the engine to run all of the ignition components of the engine.

How to do static test on motorsport stator?
To perform a static test on your motorcycle or motorsport vehicle stator: Ensure that your multimeter device is set to ohms and that you know your stator’s target readings. Pull the negative and positive leads apart and check that the multimeter display reads OL for an open loop.
