Hi all, someone on my newly bought xlv 750 r forgot to put loctite on the flywheel bolts and the result is a heavily grinded alternator, i don't think it can be fixed so i'm in a research for the spare part and here we come to the questions:

Do you know if the alternators of other bikes are compatible with the xlv 750 ?
or
Do you know where i can find an xlv 750 alternator ?

Thank you guys :)

Hi, I agree that info is scarce for this series of bikes. The engine type is used in various applications, even today, however, so I would think that unless there were extra power considerations for your model, that a stator from a VT700-750, NT650 or similar model would be a match for your needs.

31100-MK7-005 is the part number for the VT700 of that era
31100-ME9-005 for a VT750 in earlier versions. Probably the main difference is how the pulse generator coils are mounted in the engine cover case. I haven't found an online microfiche listing, so far.

There is a guy up norf who has a good rep for rewinding them too where possible.

You'll get more help on advrider than here man. There are definitely a few good sorts about on here but the site is poorly moderated/full of hairdressers so is chocka of pages of shit like the first reply rather than much bike related sadly =/

I had my XLV750 stator rewound by a guy in Auckland 12 or more years ago. Ken Cairns was always the man back in the day. The only other bike that used that engine was the RS750 - if you find one can I have a ride?

John is semi retired but worth a try.

Maybe maybe a transalp or bros might be the same.

Malcolm at Econohonda is one of the very few parts guys who knows what an XLV750 is...everyone else says oh, Africa Twin, or Transalp. He also know what fits what with them too. I bought a complete engine from him to get a stator for mine....and then a CDI coil failed in that one.

Aussie had them I can remember the adds in MCN, they looked pretty cool back in the day..........tried ebay au?
Kicka or Grumph might know?what was the auto electrical place just past the old Adingtion sale yard on a side street kind over under a overbridge......I guess its gone?
A guy I worked with used to f-around with coils and stators he said it was only the first and last number of turns on the windings that was important (I have no idea if he was right or lucky)

It's only been closed a decade or so

If it is of any use all of the NT600/650 series Hondas ran the same stator part number 31120 MS9 004

except for the final NTV650P (Europe, Germany and Switzerland only) which had the part number 31120 MZ6 611

I have a genuine parts book here and have found that many of the old Bros Revere part numbers also carried forward to my 2004 D'eauville.

Addington auto electric - long gone. That area, you would not recognise now. I wouldn't know who to go to now.

If its the same as the XLV1000 Varadero - http://www.electrexworld.co.uk/cgi-bin/ss000001.pl?page=search&SS=honda+xlv&ACTION=Search&PR=-1&TB=A

Won't be the same as the xlv1000 as this engine is based on a vtr1000 engine, xlv750 is an older engine design closer to a ntv600 engine. VT750 are also based on the ntv engine have you checked out a vt750 stator?

The XLV750 is not related to any other Honda V twin - it's air cooled, dry sumped and 45 degree...but that's not to say they didn't use a common part in these engines.

10 car....... aussie got them, I have never seen one in NZ so doubt they were ever that common.

Never seen one in those ghey colours, they were black and red. I can tell you they are as top heavy as they look. Ridden one a few times.

...I had one for years, loved it, but it was not a lightweight off road machine...picking one up after a catapulting type of highside on a trail took some muscle and grit...

I have seen one red white and blue one in NZ, imported as we never got them. I used to know a Pommy who had a set of French coloured XLV750 leathers, he had one in the UK and had leathers custom made to match. He wanted one in NZ, and ended up with an ''Italian"" colour scheme version, blue and black. There was also a silver and black, Japan only I think.

Very top heavy, like riding with a couple of cement bags across your knees. Mine was the first bike I owned that I couldn't pick up, very embarrassing. One time in the middle of nowhere I found a 2 metre length of fence post to lever the bike up with.

On a trip to pick up a bike for me my 100kg mate was feeling a bit tired so I rode his bike with him on the back. Once underway the XLV was fine but I was a bit less sure footed stopped at road works. Then he falls asleep.
