Just an fyi to anyone else doing this, if ur bike is older especially, take some parts cleaner, n bath the stator cover and the pulley cover, why not. You have it all apart anyway. This is a great video.
Hi there, I did the same on my 2007 yesterday. I'm a bit of handy man. Not a mechanic by any means. The Australian version of the bike doesn't have the same backing plate, behind the pulley that you have. It's shorter. So, less work. Not need to remove it. It took me around 4 hours (by myself). I jacked the bike up and started unscrewing everything. I watched your video twice. Great help. Thanks...you rock. I ordered everything from Aliexpress in China. Under AUS$ 90 for Stator and Regulator. Changed both. It was all plug and play. I pulled the wires and plug under the seat...about middle of it, no need to remove the ignition key thingy. I also used the Original gasket as it looked like new. No leaks. Knock on wood. I did order a new gasket from Kawasaki. Will return it now. Keep up the good work and stay safe.

@@robertbukovac2842 Hey Rob, the bike needs the stator replaced ,so ordered the parts and only got as the drive pully , gonna let the bike shop have a play.....Cheers
Thanks for making the video. I found it very helpful with replacing my failed stator. Watching you helped me have the confidence that I could do it and did not require special tools.
This video has been of great help. Had to deal with this very problem; thanks for detailing step by step and for taking out the fear of dealing with the pulley.
Thanks for making this video very helpful but I thank you made a mistake. The stator grommet has a notch on the bottom so it can go under the pick up coil grommet. Just noticed this on my Vulcan there would've been a void between to two grommets that could very likely cause a leak. So anyone changing your own watch out for this and cover the grommets with small layer of RTV before assembly
Is it necessary to seal around the stator's electric wire/grommet where it exits the generator case (where oil is present). I seem to have a leak on mine only when it runs hot. I have it narrow down to that area and I plan to replace the whole gasket but am unsure about the two rubber grommet seals that protect those two harnesses.
Hmm I may need to do this. My battery stopped charging recently on the bike when running, reving the throttle results in no voltage increase on the battery. Rectifier or stator?

It is a reliability upgrade over the stock type regulator.
I'm having trouble getting any slack on the belt. Where exactly are you placing the jack. I tried it on the swing arm but it just wants to tip the bike to the side when jacking up. Any suggestions ?
Just back out your swing arm adjusters in the rear. Make note of where they are before hand. There should be a notch on the adjuster and lines on the swingarm
So, you did not replaced the center bolt with a 2nd gen hollow one for better oil flow? That bolt is the problem on the pre 2014 models. Up to your next repair.
@@SilverBulletNation Just loosen the belt with the adjustment bolts at the rear wheel. I did a lot extra unnecessary work because I got frustrated and cut the belt off. Lol. You can also loosen the frame and it’ll give you a lot of slack. Like I did here. th-cam.com/video/-s03RZ2LTV0/w-d-xo.html
no you don’t. You can use the same one. I replaced just the stator in my first Vulcan and had no issues for as long as I had the bike afterwords. About to replace the stator on my Vulcan I have now on Friday. Good luck brother
I think I’m going to cut my belt so I can remove the pulley and replace the stator and then take the bike to a shop and have a new belt put it. I want to replace the belt any ways so I guess it won’t be a big deal.
@@bigdog4574 Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately I did cut the belt and learn the hard way because I got frustrated. It made things so much more difficult plus I had to pay about $600 for a new belt. I fixed everything and put everything back together. It was a nightmare. Lol.
@@mikeadler8239 Thanks. I wish I’d known that before I cut the belt just to get the pulley out. I’m a dumb ass. Lol. I had to loosen the adjusting bolts any ways and take a lot more parts off just to replace the belt. Also I didn’t know the damn belt was so expensive. I got everything put back together. It took me about 3 days.

Hi Rob, I have an 09 model , having no luck getting the lock nut off the front pulley , is that thing left hand thread..? Cheers Mate ,Dave
@@davidmoore9129 Absolutely no idea. Why do you need to take it off? Check the garage manual. It might give you a hint. You can Google it. It's free.

Hey Robert.
Did all that stuff from Ali hold up for you over the last 2 years?
@@Thesaurcery4U2C All still good. I changed the stator and rectifier, both from Aliexpress.
Thanks for making the video. I found it very helpful with replacing my failed stator. Watching you helped me have the confidence that I could do it and did not require special tools.
Great job on this video. Very well put together. Thank you
Torque setting for the stator cover bolts was not mentioned
This video has been of great help. Had to deal with this very problem; thanks for detailing step by step and for taking out the fear of dealing with the pulley.
Hi. Where you able to get some slack out of the belt to get it off the pulley?
The gasket you have leaning against the bike in the first shots doesn't look anything like the stator cover gasket needed, as shown at 13:00
Thanks for this. Very clear instructions & well done video.
Great video. I did mine a year ago. Same sequence. Naw. Never cut new wires. Do not invite corrosion
I agree, don't bother cutting the stator harness to route them. Just take the belt and pulley off, it's not too difficult!
Thanks for making this video very helpful but I thank you made a mistake.
The stator grommet has a notch on the bottom so it can go under the pick up coil grommet.
Just noticed this on my Vulcan there would've been a void between to two grommets that could very likely cause a leak.
So anyone changing your own watch out for this and cover the grommets with small layer of RTV before assembly
why are you guys not de-pinning the plugs and then just pulling the wires thru? No need to cut, or to remove the pulley
I want to see how you get the wire harness out from under the tool tray !
Is it necessary to seal around the stator's electric wire/grommet where it exits the generator case (where oil is present). I seem to have a leak on mine only when it runs hot. I have it narrow down to that area and I plan to replace the whole gasket but am unsure about the two rubber grommet seals that protect those two harnesses.
Hmm I may need to do this. My battery stopped charging recently on the bike when running, reving the throttle results in no voltage increase on the battery. Rectifier or stator?
Why do you use red thread locker and not blue? Won’t the red thread locker make it too difficult to replace next time?
Nice video man. Thank you for you lesson and time .
Hi great vid
I noticed your drive belt has white lines on the edges..from rubbing. Is that common with the Vulcan 900s?
What you see is kevlar. Every belt rubs and travel.
What is the advantage of the upgrade regulator. Rectifier. Price??
You can see it here for $129:

The MOSFET type regulator is more reliable and accurate regulation, and stays cooler in normal operation. It is a reliability upgrade over the stock type regulator.
Also where is the rectifier, and starter solonoid on a 2001 1500cc vulcan nomad fi? txs
I'm having trouble getting any slack on the belt. Where exactly are you placing the jack. I tried it on the swing arm but it just wants to tip the bike to the side when jacking up. Any suggestions ?
I’m doing mine right now, how do you get more slack?
@@trapshutter8510 what did you end up doing? I’m having the same problem
@@SilverBulletNation if I remember right it just took a lot of finagling, I might of had someone help me push on it

So, you did not replaced the center bolt with a 2nd gen hollow one for better oil flow? That bolt is the problem on the pre 2014 models. Up to your next repair.
What did you use to replace yours? How did you get the original bolt out?
@@malachishelton4454 Replace with a 2nd gen bolt, original Kawa part. How to get the bolt out... see uploads about stator replacements.
Half the work could be saved by one plug ?
before changing the stator to some noise like a vibration?
The stator should not be able to cause a noise or vibration, but if it was badly damaged that is possible.
I had a vibration before the noise
I have both noise and vibration
How do you do it for a 1500cc 2001 vulcan nomad fi
A big thank u for this video🎩
Do I need to drain my oil???
yes you do
Thank you very helpful
Jesus rides with me. Bell
How did you get the belt back on the pulley? I tried lifting the rear tire like you said but I didn’t get any slack out of the belt.
What did you end up doing? I’m having the same issue
@@SilverBulletNation Just loosen the belt with the adjustment bolts at the rear wheel. I did a lot extra unnecessary work because I got frustrated and cut the belt off. Lol. You can also loosen the frame and it’ll give you a lot of slack. Like I did here. th-cam.com/video/-s03RZ2LTV0/w-d-xo.html
Do you need to change the regulator or can you still use the same one?
no you don’t. You can use the same one. I replaced just the stator in my first Vulcan and had no issues for as long as I had the bike afterwords. About to replace the stator on my Vulcan I have now on Friday. Good luck brother
@@ryanfayette803 how’d it go bro?
I replaced my stator and now bike won't start..... been like this for 4 days I need help bad.
Brilliant thanks
Great 👍 👌

Good part of the video!
I think I’m going to cut my belt so I can remove the pulley and replace the stator and then take the bike to a shop and have a new belt put it. I want to replace the belt any ways so I guess it won’t be a big deal.
Lmao… what?! No don’t do that! Worst case scenario loose up the bold on the back wheel, will get you all the slack you need…. Do not cut the belt

@@TheMaximomex oh my, lol.... sorry to hear that, glad that it's done at least
thank you
There is no way you put that belt back on the pulley by hand.
Just loosen the belt with the adjustment bolt at the rear wheel to get some slack. Remember to adjust afterwards.
@@mikeadler8239 Thanks. I wish I’d known that before I cut the belt just to get the pulley out. I’m a dumb ass. Lol.

You have removed so much shirt I feel like my brain doesn’t know what to remove
😅❤
😊
That is also not the correct gasket for that stator cover BTW lmao
