So glad you have the perfect combinationa of XR600, knowledge on wrenching, and great video skills. I rebuilt the carb on mine with your video, and now doing the stator. Legend!
Very well done video. Helped me a ton to the oil leaking out. You should do more videos. I just bought a old 85 xr 350 and trying to diagnose some issues.
Thank you for your reply. Glad the video was helpful. Good luck with your 85 and hope you can get her running like new again. More videos will come out when I finish grad school. Cheers to your new build. Take care.
I couldn't find a video on the 650l, but this looks just like it so I think it's going to help me a lot. That or get me into a into trouble I can't get myself out of. lol Great video!
Wow, that sounds like a scary adventure you had to endure. Where you far away from home when this happened? Did the chain do any damage do your left engine case? Glad we could help and best of luck! Hope you came out unscathed yourself.
XRLand I wasn't too far.away from home. My dad picked me up. The chain did no damage to the left case but the screw holes of the sprocket cover broke. Luckily nothing happend to my girlfriend or me.
You can use the 200W Ricky Stator, but you will need an AC regulator that can handle the extra wattage. Email sent with more information. Thank you for your question, and have a great week!
When you replaced your stator did you also replace your regulator? I’m having some confusion on how I’m supposed to do this. I bought an RM stator and now I’m not sure how I’m supposed to be wiring up my new regulator. Lost spark and suspected the stator or regulator to be the issue
Nice informative video. Have 85 XR600R with headlamp, tail/brake light & no battery. Can I tap into my headlamp wires with a fused power outlet to operate my Garmin GPS? Believe it's stock stator, but not positive.
Larry J Hi Larry. I would venture to say yes, however, I do not have a degree in physics nor electrical engineering, therefore I cannot give you an educated answer. I have done this type of tapping before, but without extensive knowledge, I would rather recommend you ask someone that can give you a confident answer so that your Garmin doesn’t get damaged. Sorry I can’t be more help, but I’m a biologist 😂 thanks for dropping by the channel. Ride safe and enjoy that classic 85!
Wow, never had such a quick response! Was watching your brake bleeding video. Thank you for the response. Will test output at wires w/volt meter to verify proper voltage before going any further, Thanks PS: just subscribed.
You left me some nice comments so I felt compelled to respond. Always a pleasure to have kind people grace the channel with their presence. Take good care and enjoy having GPS on your thumper. Kind regards.
Are you considering getting an aftermarket kit such as the Baja Designs, or are you wanting to wire a headlight and switch directly to your alternator connections?
Great video very useful. I have a 85 XL 600 with a Ricky stater in it and I’m having problems starting now after about a year cording to my Honda service guide I have to check both the black in the red wires and I’m only getting resistance in the black side is 65 and nothing from the red wire. So I’m thinking I’m gonna need a new stater just want your opinion before I go out and buy one. And also how did that Ricky stater you put in hold up?
Hi Dell Davis. Good to see those 80's XLs still being kept up. I've only had experience with factory stators and Ricky stators, so I can't comment on how they compare to other brands. While Ricky stators are expensive, they seem to have good build quality and lasting performance. I don't have anything negative to say. If you're going to get one with higher wattage, then you may want to consider a regulator to handle excess power. I'm not very familiar with the physics of electricity, so I can't provide any useful information beyond that. I never had a problem with my Ricky stator thankfully, and the reviews seem pretty good overall on the internet. Hope you get your bike back up and running soon! Take it easy out there. Best.
@@XRLand thank you for the reply I’ll probably go with a Ricky stater because the factory ones aren’t available anymore I’ve been looking for one but no luck
For we dummies....... Why did you not address the direction the stator goes back in ? Is it unimportant.? ( I neglected to mark which hole s . ) I also have some type of 2 screw seperate unit with the stator . It,s wire limits where the new stator may mount.
Hi Jr Johnston. I didn't know it was important to mention. The wiring came out of one side which allowed me to decide which orientation to install the new stator. Does your old and new stator not have obvious differences between front and back? Hope the build is going well.
Hey David. I got the parts for this build from ronayers, but since we are located on the west coast we now get parts from bikebandit or rockymountainatv. Thanks!
hello, in the book workshop xr 600 that measure should be 230-320, and only gives you 84 ?????. my xr gives 91 and the engine shuts down, this is driving me crazy.
Hey J L. I'm still around but had to focus on starting a career as a bio professor. Once I'm able to afford a place with a garage, the vids will start coming out again. Thanks for stopping by and checking in. Have an excellent day and ride safe out there.

Nicely shot and edited, clear information - especially the voltmeter detail. Thank you for a super useful video.

Cool, well explained. *Clutch cable nuts should be both on the left. to lock the cable position.
Outstanding video. Thanks for making and sharing it.

Liked, saved, and subscribed to that sweet XR how to! XR650R owner hear happy to find your channel. Hope you keep putting out content!
Thanks for the video. My chain snapped and cut off my stator cable. Now I know how this works, this should be an easy soldering job.

Great tip about not having to drain the oil, that'll save me some time.
Excellent vid mate, very clear and easy to follow thanks.
You're very welcome sir! Thanks for watching.
When you replaced your stator did you also replace your regulator? I’m having some confusion on how I’m supposed to do this. I bought an RM stator and now I’m not sure how I’m supposed to be wiring up my new regulator.
Lost spark and suspected the stator or regulator to be the issue
Can’t tell what thread lock you used, permanent or removable? Guessing removable in case you needed to replace it again down the road?
Hi man.... What did you do with the pink and yellow wire from the regulator rectifier to the stock stator
I saw you do that with your headlight but what about the rest blinkers brake light etc

ah and thank you for the sub. I don't post a lot anymore, but when I do I'll make sure it's worth it.
Are you considering getting an aftermarket kit such as the Baja Designs, or are you wanting to wire a headlight and switch directly to your alternator connections?
Hey buddy just curious can I take off the reg rec and just run the power to my lights with the voltage reg from the stator?

Thanks for this video!
Thank you
Was that an upgraded regulator ?
Where is the so called in german impulsgeber. They told me sometimes it is sufficient to change that on.
Thanks bud!
Glad to be helpful. Take care.
Yup very gd clear ect

XRLand ...are you XRLated on the
“XRL owners sign in” thread?
No, sir.
Hi you have cool videos i need help my xr600r It run but it will heat up and cut off if i let it cool down it will start back up.
hey questions xr land where do you personally get your xr parts at
Hey David. I got the parts for this build from ronayers, but since we are located on the west coast we now get parts from bikebandit or rockymountainatv. Thanks!
hello, in the book workshop xr 600 that measure should be 230-320, and only gives you 84 ?????. my xr gives 91 and the engine shuts down, this is driving me crazy.
can u help me put aftermarket switch and light in my xr600r i am in souht cal
Is this the same for the 600L?
WR Forte its the same other then the plugs are slightly diffrent
What ever happened with this dude? Last video 4 years ago?

Ive got about 60 ohms…No spark
