87 400 Yamaha XZ starter motor help: can a 550cc go in?

[tigertim20]

Asking for a mate:

He needs a new STRATOR (not starter....not sure what it is ) for his 400 yamaha xz. Hes found it hard to find one but has sourced a 550 strator. Is this compatible?

Or does anyone know where he can find a a 400 strator and for my benefit maybe explain wtf that is ?

Thanks......you guys are great

You mean the stator? (only 1 r) I think they are the same, it should be fine, finding buts for them is getting fuckin hard now, they all have shit electrics (used to have one) and most people had so many issues with them they just gave up on them... have a look at www.howstuffworks.com it gives real good, easy descriptions as to how things go!

Are you sorted ? I can supply new Aftermarket stators approx $300.

yes I heard and read....but your world famous for it and I for one thought it took some balls

He def got ripped off...was sold with strator fucked. But hes got another one and just got to figure out how to get it in. I think hes only had one bike a while ago and was just itchin to get some wheels and is now paying for it. I went for a couple rides and bike ran good....till the battery went dead lol. Everything else seems to be kosher so hopefully he will get it in and that will be the end of his strator worries and his new worries will be where hes going to ride.

Keep ya chin up Carver I have no doubt that what you did will be remembered for a long time! But I will always remember you as my first coro loop butt smacker lol

Haha, thanks

Yamaha XZ's have chronic electrical issues...
Plus those down draft car style carbs...

a bike heap of shit, i had one for 6 months when i was in high school, and worked on it most days.
I never got it to run properly
I can remember having pistons sticking in the front brakes, the batt not charging, fork seals blowing, lots of shit, i should have just stayed away from the name YAMAHA
