  • HOW TO: Stator Replacement - Harley Davidson FXR...Grant's Harley Davidson FXR is back on the cutting table. His FXR has been giving him problems all summer and not staying charged. So it was time to do the infamous Evolution motor stator replacement. I've been wanting to do a HOW TO on a stator for awhile and this is it!

    Just did the same project on my FXR a couple months ago. Stator, rotor, regulator and battery. My recommendation is make sure your gasket surfaces are properly prepped, and replace all of o-rings on the shifter shaft while it is open. Mark where the long bolts go on the primary cover with a sharpie. And be prepared to use a little heat when getting those primary and clutch nuts loose.

      Man you nailed it with sharpie advice, that was one we had to remember on which went to what and got it right the first time. I appreciate the support and for the feedback!

    Cycle electric make the best charging system parts, but I believe they also make them for other companies

    • @freebirdsgarage

      I didn't know they made stuff for other's. But yes Cycle Electric is the best, one of the top companies who truly makes a better part then what Harley could produce.

    Wow I'm doing that now I bought the hole stator , regulator ,and my new magito hits the two little screws and that piece of plastic? Should I use the old one , and the harley shop told me no more than 100lbs on the compensator 1994 fxdwg???

    • @freebirdsgarage
      @freebirdsgarage  2 місяці тому

      It shouldn't hit and you may have some of the spacers on wrong that would cause that.

  • @samheninger505
    @samheninger505 2 дні тому

    Appears it was just a lose connection. Use a volt meter and check the AC voltage out put of stator and ohem out the stator to see if it's in spec also check for conuity between stator and primary to make sure its not grounded out to the case making sure its bad before replace. Also check output of the votage regulator in DC volts at about 2000 rpm should be 13v-14.6 v I've delt with lots of charging issues in air cooled motors usually the stator don't go bad unless damaged from something

    Nice how to video bro
    Quick tech tip
    Do yourself a favor and buy yourself a rotor puller. They're pretty cheap on Amazon and they're very helpful for this stuff. Letting the rotor slam on the stator like that can potentially disturb the glue content that holds them magnets together and the magnets can break away from the rotor and then you'll have another charging issue
    Nice video, jus had to say somethin
    Keep wrenching

    • @freebirdsgarage
      @freebirdsgarage  Рік тому +1

      Thanks for the tip! It's definitely something I should of told anyone doing it. Don't let it slam it can cause those magnets to loosen up.

      @@freebirdsgarage Yea no doubt bro. I jus would hate for it to happen to u or someone else. I jus did a stator n rotor on a 07 low rider and some of the starters have the magnets protected by a layer of stainless steel. The magnets aren't exposed like the older ones which I think is pretty cool. Gives it that extra layer of protection

    LOL I ordered a new stator at the Harley Dealership, they insisted I order a new VR as well, I said no I just put in a new Cycle electric VR. Parts Girl said yeah those are made by Parts specialties and they are junk. I said no they are made in Ohio, they are their own company, she looked at me like I was the asshole

      There is a tool, but you can use the two allen tools to pry it out. Gotta be careful not to let go and slam it, it'll cause the magnets to break loose.
