100% the issue I was just having…clutch cable snapped last week, swapped it out this morning and went to start the bike, only to hear the most god awful sound…found your video, opened it up, and sure as shit… 🤦♂️
Thanks!
@@cheechakooutdoors just curious to know what was your search title/criteria when researching this issue..
@@TheChemistDIY I looked up, “2001 gsxr 600 stator noise,” because I was pretty certain that’s the area it was coming from, and because I replaced the stator/actuator about 3 months ago
Not all hero’s wear capes. Maaaan. Lol
Thank u brother all the way from Namibia down in Africa, thought I lost my engine for a moment... you are a true Hero
Wow.. Africa!.. the internet is great!. Glad I could help u out brother.. Lock my channel in, more tips to come shortly.
My man, you are a godsend! Thanks chief!
Hey, james, oh my god i cant thank you enough, bro, i literaly thought my motor had busted, and sure enough it was the screws inside the stator, thank you, bro.
Lmao.. that's the same exact thing I thought when it happen to me brother. I'm glad I could help you out with this video. I've had my bike so long that there's probably not one issue that have haven't experienced or troubleshooted.. be sure to subscribe.. I'll be doing a full engine teardown and rebuild in the up coming months.. should be one for the books..
@@TheChemistDIY , hell yeah, man ive been your sub for over a year now my brother, keep hem comming! Everytime i have an issue with my gixxer i check your videos, cant thank you enough, for real. Stay safe my brotha.
Great video man thanks. I've a rattle on the left of my 660 tenure but haven't ridden it since and the stator is there so I think I'll pop cover off and have a peak. Thanks a mil 👍
I may be having this issue with my boat motor. Thanks for the video
This video along with few threads saved my ass, luckily I caught it just in time. The stator bolts were all loose but 1 was almost out all the way
Thanks for the video I started the bike today and this noise freak the crap out of me and I had replaced the stator like 2 years ago and I can guarantee this is my problem thank you bro
On god me too 😭 my dirtbike
Same 😂
Sorry for the late follow up. Indeed it was my problem I guess I didn’t put locktite and they where soo loose.
Thanks bro
Glade I could help you solve the problem brother. Stick around and Ride safe
Thanks for the video, just happened to my cbr thanks to your video was quickly able to diagnose my problem
Glad it helped you out. Its very rear that this occurs but it can happen as I said. It may be a pain in the ass to remove in the future but be sure to use some blue lock tight so it doesnt happen again.
Okay for anybody else to watch this video. I was having a problem where I had come back home and check my bike the next day after having no previous issues. I was about to head out for a trip, but then it started making that belt screeching sound. He was talking about in the video so I panicked and called my mechanic friend. He said it doesn’t sound like any cylinder issues or pistons so check the compression. We checked the compression and everything came back fine so then I went and watched your video. Immediately found out what was wrong with my bike by pulling off my stater cover even though my bike is a ZX 10 R 2008 SE. Thank you so much I thought I was going to have to replace a goddamn engine again.❤
Glad I could help you out brother. I never would have thought that this would be a thing but I guess it is.. thanks for sharing your story and letting us know it's not something that's bike specific..
thank you so much, you’re a life saver 😅😅 i thought it was over for my bike
Thank you for this video. My 06 did this on my commute to work..
Awesome, Glad I was able to help you out. Thanks for stopping in and commenting.
Thanks so much for this video man. I was on a ride today and started hearing a rattling sound /tumbling sound and the occasional squeal like you mentioned. My first thought was to check my clutch plates when I got home but then my bike decided to just die and I ended up needing a jump to get it home. I'm going to check this tomorrow. Thanks again!
keep me posted on your findings
Happened to me now, appreciate the video bro.
Hopefully the bolts weren't to badly damaged that you can still use..
Great work from the 2005 GSXR Master Mechanic. James, you must really love the 2005 GSXR 750.
Thanks Kenneth!.. yes, I do love this bike.. I have friends who tease me all the time saying I should sell her and upgrade to something new.. I tell them every time I get on her it's like a new experience..
Riding Ms. Lucy Liu (a.ka. Loose) never gets old and with the new engine I dropped in her a few years back she's younger then ever.
@@TheChemistDIY I was experiencing an electrical gremlin recently on my 05 750. The display went down and engine shut off. Started back up immediately and shutdown a second time. Started back up after cooling off for 30 min and road home with no issue. Battery, RR and stator working properly. So, I ended up going through all grounds and cleaning every connector and fuse with electrical contact cleaner and sand paper. I found lots of old dialectric grease that had hardened(nasty red)and also their was corrosion on fuses and inside connectors. 15 year old bike in humid tropical environment needed a good cleaning. Rectifier 5 prong connector was corroded inside, so popped each one out to clean individually. Rectifier wires get very warm and rectifier was hot, but back looked good. Im wondering if all the old dialectric grease and corrosion isn't the root cause for alot of these charging issues. I noticed a slight improvement in the voltage when at idle 14v to 14.2v after cleaning everything.
UPDATE!! Yes one of the bolts was loose!! THANK YOUUU!!!!!!
Awesome Carlos! Glad I could help troubleshoot this issue for you.. funny but this seems to be happening more frequently with some riders out there.
Great vedio man😂👍🏍
Hey I have a suzuki 250 street bike I have oil in my stator I didn't think oil was supposed to be in there but thanks you got a cool bike
Your video led me to look in the stator. Bro, Long pause) TY.
Haha.. . Nice!!
Thanks bih time just happened to me 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Glad I could help ya out brother. Don't forget to subscribe, plenty of other videos to help you out in your time of need. I cover pretty much everything that has to do with diying for your bike, Suzuki or not.
Thanks Bro, my bike just started sounding like a belt squeaking…
Did you use Loctite on the bolts
Green scotch brite, any sand paper made with metal oxide can induce dissimilar metal corrosion
locktight them bolts
I know this is an older video but take the thread count and dimensions of the bolt and type of thread. Then sorce the bolt elsewhere.
Secondly when installing those bolts use a thread locker liquid. Choose something like blue loctite?. Whatever the service workshop manual suggests?.
My gsxr 600 is having this issue thx dude
Glad I could help you out, block in the channel there's a lot more in my arsenal and videos for the Gixxer
This literally just happened to me the sound and the bike turning off on my I thought my battery wasn’t charging 😭. I’m gna open it up and see if them bolt are loose cause I did hear like something is loose in there
Thanks
I had the problem today and I was breaking my freaking head
It's definitely a head scratcher if you don't know what to look for. Glad this helped you out. Be sure to add some loc tight..
Week battery and loose wire harness also bad for stator
That's why you use loctite on those bolts so they don't come loose 🤷🏻♀️
Do you need to drain the oil to take the case off cheers ps love your videos
Sorry for the late response, but no you don't need to remove the oil although some oil will leak out as you remove the cover but it's very minor
james moreno thanks for the reply
Wait so did you find metal shavi gs in your oil? This just happened to me same noise
Mine is doing that rattling noise now my GXSR 600. I believe the bolts are too long in length, I think it’s best to use shorter bolts to lock down the stator.
Yeah, if your not using the OEM bolts then it's best to get something similar in length. Last thing you want is metal shavings floating around in your engine oil. I would look into this quickly if this is your issue. Check the magnet drain plug and see if it has More then normal shavings.
@@TheChemistDIY Not sure where the magnet drain plug is, but I will look into it tho. I think its doing that because I switched the OEM Stator cap to an aftermarket Stator cap. So I may need some shorter bolts. I will check and get back to you. This is depressing not knowing the issue LOL because I am trying to get it ready for the beach this summer.
Magnetic Drain plug = is just the bolt you remove when performing your oil change. At the end of that bolt (thread end) you will see a divot with a discolored center.. that center divot is a magnet that colocates metal shavings floating around in your engine oil.. so obviously you would have to change your oil when pulling the drain plug to check.. yeah aftermarket parts can be a bitch sometimes.. I always ask myself.. "why do they have to look so cool but yet do so much damage".. lol.
@@TheChemistDIY Oh okay I know what you're talking about now LOL I will check it out.
I would change the magnetic rotor
Same issues thanks man ! Do you know the specs of the bolt
This should be hand tight without over tightening.. just make sure to use blue thread locker to keep them in place..
What could be wrong withy gsxr I was riding but it wouldn't go above 7k without breaking up and eventually it just died but it does crank
Sounds like the STVA. This will usually throw an FI C28 code. Take a look through my videos, I have 3 that cover this.. the last being the most recent titled permanent fix. Let me know it that worked for you their..
you're kinda lucky because i have to change the flywheel/stator on my bike 450$ lol
Have you had any issues with the motor after you fixed this problem?
Thankfully no. I managed to catch it before it became a reall problem...
Couldn't the strong rotor magnet catch all the shavings?
Yes, and it did.. with only a small amount of glitter in the oil pan after the oil change.
hey got the same problem. is it still safe to drive this a couple of days around? like around 3-5more hours?
Hell no.. if the screws come out they fall into the engine casing .. that said the stator also falls into basket that's spinning at a 1000 revolutions per second. Talk about a bad day!
got it man! lastly, how did you manage to fix it? got any vids around? btw, u earned a sub! cheers!🎉
@iamcharles2286 thanks for the sub. There's nothing special you need to do. Just as the video says, clean out the metal shavings, replace the screw if yours was damaged like mine. Your local big box store should have a nuts n bolts section that you can take one their and match up.
But most importantly, when you reassemble, be sure to use BLUE loctite to keep those screws from backing out.. you wont have anymore issues after this. I've posted an Amazon affiliate link below to the product if your unfamiliar but you can get this at any automotive store.

Lastly, if the screw(s) have been shaven down, you are going to need to perform an oil and filter change and be sure to clean up the magnetic drain plug. It will no doubt have collected all the fine metal shavings in your oil and you don't want that floating around in your new oil. If yours was really bad like mine was, ride the bike for a few days and flush the oil again. You don't want any residual shavings coming of parts and into your engine.
Good luck
I just posted a video on my channel of my 06 VTX. Can you tell me if that was the sound you heard?
Yes sir!.. that's exactly the sound.. do not run the bike any more until you tighten them up or you will run them down.. add a little blue loctite and let it dry overnight.
Well that was not it sadly. Stator and flywheel all intact. Clutch side is the same. Everything looks newish.
@@Taw19850 man I for sure thought that was the problem, sounds exactly the same.. have you checked your exhaust pipe bolt's where they mount to the frame? Slap on a pair of gloves and grab the piping to see if the noise quites down.. definitely sounds like something loose.
@@Taw19850Did you figure out what the noise was on yours?
Hoping this is the problem most likely it is I feel like cause it screeched the day after I put it in ride fine next time I went to start it it screeched
Tutorials stator connection to regulator guys
Was the stator still good?
Yes
Use thread locker
Use blue loctite
Alan Gaudry YES..! Lesson learned. Even after performing this replacement a few times and never having an issue I would advise everyone to use Bule Lock Tight so this doesn't happen to you. You just never know when a bolt will decide to back out.
why when i watch this video my bike started doing the same thing
Spooky...
Just happened to me
Dear God I hope so......
Man I've been so bummed thinking my bike is toast.... just dropped 2.5 k in it doing a overhaul... charging system was among the items replaced so here goes nothing.
Good luck to ya bro..
@@TheChemistDIY update:
Fixed it.
I mean, something else broke 3 hours later but that fixed the issue for the moment 😅
LMAO.. man don't you hate that ish.. lol. I'm always telling my wife I feel like I'm always fixing something..just right after I'm done with the last issue.
@@TheChemistDIY story of my life bro
Murphys law is more predominant in my existence than the law of gravity. But I've sure learned a whole lot thru out my trials!
If it wasn't for bad luck, well, I'd be really board.
Welcome to the never ending,non boring world of motorcycling/ biking! You're not alone although sometimes you feel that way,take a medicine break throw a wrench,cuss and & call it a couple of bad names,then you're certified unequivocally a motorcyclist/ Biker! Viva Los Moto!! mi vida loca
Yep same here.. sob 😅❤
loctite
LOL dont fricken bother describing WHICH bike it is....lol seriously??
If you take a look at the comments section brother you can see that this tutorial is universal and happens to a lot of bikes.. not just my 05 750 GSXR..
