What should the Ohms be on a stator?
Insert each probe into a stator socket. You should read around 0.2 to 0.5 ohms. If you show an open circuit with the “Open” or infinity reading or have higher resistance, then the stator is bad and you must replace it. If these tests all produce positive results, then the stator itself is good.
How do I know if my stator or rectifier is bad?
Key Signs to Look For You won’t have any trouble diagnosing the faulty regulator rectifier if the battery is the cause. You’ll note signs right away like poor starts, fluctuating meter readings, and dimmed headlights. around 13 volts, the bike will start to drain the battery.
Should stator have ground continuity?
You should have no continuity (i.e. no beep) between either of the stator leads and ground. Any continuity here indicates the stator windings have probably burned out. Resistance between the two stator leads should be 0.2-0.4 ohms maximum, measured on the lowest setting on your multimeter.
What kind of test should I do on my stator?
You will need a multimeter set to Ohms for this test. Test every lead of the stator’s connector and note the readings. The reading of each combination should be the same (test leads 1-2, 2-3, and 3-1). If they are different, your stator is defective.
How can I tell if my stator connector is defective?
Ohms Test. You will need a multimeter set to Ohms for this test. Test every lead of the stator’s connector and note the readings. The reading of each combination should be the same (test leads 1-2, 2-3, and 3-1). If they are different, your stator is defective.
When is the best time to replace a stator?
Stators have unpredictable lifespans, and the timing of replacements isn’t always dependent on the stator’s age, so there’s no reason to replace one that may very well run for several thousand more miles if left untouched. Performing a diagnostic test is the best way to know whether you need to replace your stator.
How does a field excited stator work on a bike?
The stator produces alternating current (AC) that flows into your machine’s rectifier to be converted to direct current (DC) and then power the DC loads on your bike. Field excited stators are similar to permanent magnetic systems, except they operate with an electromagnet instead of permanent magnets.
