    TRUSTED stator rewinders, Wellington?

    Does anyone have any experience of a trusted stator re-winder in Wellie? Ideas on price etc?

    Cheers

    hmm stator on RSV.
    Not the 1st one I have heard of this year!
    A buddy of mine found the best deal via a guy in the States would supplied one landed for under $350 landed from memory. I know he got a replacement price ex Aprilia and it was stupid money.
    I could get the details from him if you want.
    May the road rise up to meet you.
    May the wind be always at your back.
    May the sun shine warm upon your face.

    Cheers MM... The more details the better, thanks... it was probably a Ricks stator as they're selling them on AF1 for about NZ$300 to the door... he may have been a different one though... was just wondering about re-winding costs as i'd rather it was rewound and i tried the latest and greatest R&R (proof of concept kinda)... the AF1 users mob are "blaming" the R&R as the weak link... not sure about the techy detail, but am willing to give it a go...

    Rewind it yourself - http://www.thegsresources.com/garage...atorrewind.htm - if you can source the wire
    it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.
    those cheap ass bitches can do anything with ductape.

    It's normal for a faulty reg/rect to take out the stator.

    Rewinding isn't that great either, as any little imperfection in the stator insulation will allow the winding to short to the engine frame.

    I'd go for a new stator, even if it was double the price of the rewind. Maybe get it rewound if you knew the rewinder was a gold-plater, but most of them just want the job out the door with no comebacks - and that doesn't generally imply gold plating it.

    (gold plating = spending absurd amount of time and effort on it - nothing to do with gold.)

    The old bugga can do it blind folded, standing on his head while sipping a cup o tea. (unless he has died or summit).
