FXR having problems running, suspect electrickery is to blame

The two tricky parts are, figuring out exactly how it's wound and making a diagram, and getting all the old windings off. After that its just wire, epoxy, and soldering. Getting those screws out can be a bitch too.

As well as that its going to be a matter of how many m of wire per section to use. Ill have a decent look at it later on today, but I am sure there will be a guide on the all knowing google.

If you unwind and measure the existing 'borked' ones, that'll give you the answer.

Yeah theres lots and lots on google about stator rewinding. My comments and experience here add little to that.

The things that is important about stator rewinding, is the number of turns, the wire diameter, and the wiring and winding layout. These things must be matched identically.

All good unless they end up getting stuck together. But I am going to revert to plan B in the mean time, trademe, theres one for $80 for my bike. So the rewinding of the existing one will be put on the backburner somewhat.

They WILL be stuck together. Put it in the oven at 150oC for an hour and see if you can forcibly pull them off.. if not, then its sidecutters time!

If you don't end up using the old one, send it to me, or to some other person who would like to practice rewinding them.

Ah, never thought of that. Im just thinking of getting it off well enough to count the turns, and hence work out how much wire is required. And I will end up rewinding it, (will keep it as a spare, and will be good to know how to do it). It will just be a while till I do, as uni is taking up all my spare time right now.
