Oh well Nat thats the state of the stator,i couldnt help but notice your chain needs some oil but im sure you know that anyway(as if you didnt have enough to do) 👍🤔👍
That's the sort of fault I've always hated - there's definitely something wrong, but all the tests are ok. Is it possible there was a bad connection between the two halves of the 3-pin connector plug where you did your stator tests?
Stators can fail when they get hot. If engine is not at normal operating temp this could explain erratic readings. There are places you can send them to for testing
When you're using a multi-meter, a set of leads with crocodile clips is a useful accessory, because they let you use it hands free. I've also made up leads with different pins to fit in various connector plugs.
Technical term is F.U.B.A.R 😅 It's only because I'm lazy I said last time "whip the cover off" ... I'd rather spend £5 on a gasket and know its 2 minutes, what 50 minutes with a multi meter may or may not tell me .
That’s Electrosport stator fitted in there ! It delivers poor 12V at idle and a good 40V at 4000 rpm. Your battery won’t be charging at idle and in city traffic
That's well on it's way to being a properly burnt out stator, tests fine in the garage when cold but has intermittent output fails with one or more of the coils shorting to ground as it warms up out on the road.
I'm sure Art will be over the moon at you consistently calling him Ace, lol And did I hear you right when you said 'He's well respected because he knows he's shit' !!!!!
@@NatsNackersYard We saw you test resistance between each stator wire and earth (to check for short to earth), and ac voltage output on each pair at 5k rpm, but we didn't see you test resistance between each ac pair (to check for break in windings). Did you do that off camera? I would suggest having a closer look at both connector plugs (3-pin yellow and 2-pin red/green) to the regulator/rectifier, checking for signs of any arcing, or loose pin to pin connections. A loose connection on either the ac or dc side would account for the intermittent on/off charging output.
Needs testing when it's hot. That's when the insulation starts to fail and gives you problems.
You're probably right there mate. I should have left it running longer with hindsight.

That's what you get for using it all year around I guess!

Quite possibly mate. We will soon see when the replacement goes in!
Can a burnt stator burn out a rectifier ?
I will have to see when the new stator arrives.

I think that you're bang on mate.
Had it happen to mine too.
Not too difficult to replace and off you are again :)
Exactly

Frustratingly I am sure that I have some somewhere!
These parts now days are cheap enough to try. Hopefully a new one will solve your issue Nat
It's taking its time getting here among all the bank holidays!

You're totally right but wanted to learn how to test it. I am still not sure that I know how to though!

This one delivers very little at any rev range! Thanks mate.

That's my thinking mate.
Hope you get a replacement soon, and get back out on two wheels without further issues.
The bank holidays seem to be wrecking deliveries at the moment.
@@NatsNackersYard thats a damm shame. The situation is so desperate you might be forced to uncover shiver?!

There is a fine line between knowing your shit and knowing you're shit!
@@NatsNackersYard and we all play both sides of that line too 😂
Aren’t you meant to test continuity between each stator cable and not stator cable-ground?
I did mate. Maybe I didn't show it clearly
@@NatsNackersYard Oh fair enough mate, not digging just advising 🍻
