Well it was bound to happen and it finally did. Charging system went out on my 07 600. I already had a mosfet R/R from roadstercycles laying around since I was expecting to have to do this eventually. Anyway, wasn't just the R/R, even with that replaced wasn't getting proper charging voltage to the battery. Was getting very low voltage readings from the stator.

Has anyone purchased a stator from Rick's before and successfully put it on their bike? How is the quality? Has it stood up over time? They are only $160 and everyone wants at least $250 for a new OEM stator (not considering used OEM, kinda defeats the purpose of replacing it). Wanting to hear of some experience before deciding. Thanks!

Had very good luck with R/R from Rick's on my VFR. This after other R/R's had not held up.

You wouldn't happen to be in the san diego area would you? We need to find a bike in the next week to test our prototype stator in. If you're interested and can leave your bike with us for a couple of days there's a free stator in it for you when the production parts get here at the end of the month.

I noticed the Rick's stator from the pictures is not a laminated core, OEM is. Some of Rick's other stators are. Not sure if it's an old picture or not. Laminated cores reduce something know as eddy currents. Eddy currents cause losses in the core in the form of heat and also cause more resistance to the rotor movement. It's probably only several percent, but it's cheaper to do this way than to use laminations.
