- Welcome to A Midwest Family! Today we are replacing the stator and regulator/ rectifier on my 2005 Suzuki Boulevard C90. I ordered the replacement parts from Ricks Motorsports and at the time of the video part numbers and prices were as follows. This list does not include new oil for the machine since you must drain the oil to change the stator.
If you need guidance on changing the oil please watch my oil changing video here. • 05 Suzuki Boulevard C9...
Hot shot series rectifier/ regulator part # 10-203H $157.95
Hot shot series stator # 21-311H $163.95
Suzuki stator cover gasket # 25-307 $ 12.95

Watching you change out the stator just reminds me once again that when I was in high school, 65 + years ago, I should have taken a mechanics and an electronics course as two of my optional courses with the compulsory classes. Instead I studied chemistry, physics, biology and geography. If I had taken those two courses I would have been able to do more work myself and understood better the explanations given to me by shop mechanics. I had to trade in my first C 90 after 165,000 km due to stator issues but I liked the bike so much I bought another three years later and that is what I'm presently riding.
What a shame that stator doesn't last; your video is a great help for car mechanics like me.
I want to thank you for this video and listing the parts it made it so much more easy for me to order the parts. I have been working on a few bikes like a victory and a Harley but kind of intimidated on working with electronics of sort. Once again Thanks👍
Thanks for watching and subscribing, glad I could help a fellow wrench turner!
I’m doing this job tomorrow. Watching this tutorial is a huge help. Thank you for posting. 🤘🏻
Thank you for watching and good luck!
Thank you for the breakdown on the install. I just ordered the stator and rectifier for my C90. Luckily some bikers push started me at the home depot and I was able to get home. Again thanks!
At least you were able to get it home. Good luck, it wasn't that bad changing them out. Thank you for watching!
Great video, thanks man. I just baught a 99 with the same issue. Got my parts from Rick's. Great explanation.
Thank you, it wasn't that hard to do, ride safe and thanks for watching!
Awesome video, thanks for posting. I just purchased an 08 C90, this could come in handy.
Thanks for watching hopefully you won't have to worry about it, but if you do hopefully this helps!
Jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj
Good job! I did the same job on my VT1100......pretty much the same thing.....I think I had to remove the air box so I could fish the wires. I've always liked the C-90.
Thank you! It wasn't terrible, a little harder then it normally would be since I did the wiring mod to move the rectifier out front. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Hey thanks the best video I’ve seen so far changed out my stator and rectifier on my own 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Glad it was helpful, ride safe!
Excellent video brother! Thank you so much for your help and guidance . This was very informative and you did a wonderful job my good man. Beautiful Bike by the way. God bless you and your family.
Thank you I so much, and God bless you also!
Thank you sir, cheers from Bosnia 🫡🏍️
Thank you for watching!
Did the same job on my C90. Used 4 long 6mm studs as guides and slide right on. I removed the running board to have more room.
The studs would have worked better im sure, as you seen I left the running board on. You can get the cover back on but it definitely is a little harder to get it lined up! Thanks for watching!
Thanks For Sharing!
Thank you for watching!
Thanks you for sharing 🤙
Thank you for watching!
Good video I'll be replacing mine too
It isn't that bad to do. Thanks for watching!
Excellent video I'm going to do that with my rectifier is One More Design floor the piston and magnet that pulled the decompression valve core table there's a rubber donut that melts and glues it closed so it doesn't work that's why so many people have trouble starting their bikes
Thank you for watching, glad you found it useful!
Ok I feel pretty stupid right now I have never started a Suzuki before I thought all you had to do is was turn the key and push the starter button. This was driving me crazy until I just found out that you need to hold the clutch in then start it. So problem solved I'm glad I didn't have to back and rea check everything. Thanks for all your help much apricated
Glad you got it figured out ride safe!
Great video! Mine hasn't failed yet, but I'm thinking I should replace everything now before getting stranded out on the road. 👍
It wasn't that hard to do, and if you haven't done the mod 3 yet it would be even easier for you. But depending on year and miles on your bike it definitely wouldn't hurt. Ride safe!
@@amidwestfamily112 It's a 2005 with about 14,000 miles. I'll be doing the mod 3 to eliminate another failure point anyway.
Thx 4 ya video bro!!! Helps me alot! Got a stator burn on my vl 1500lc. I have to change all the fucking mess! Thank u sir!
I am glad the video was able to help you out!
Awesome video very self-explanatory thank you was wondering what kind of windshield Windjammer is that and where did you buy and how much
The faring is a Memphis shades batwing with a 6 inch tall smoked curved windscreen, with side wind deflectors. I don't remember exactly what it cost with everything but for the batwing windscreen side deflectors and mounting hardware it was around 5 or 6 hundred bucks.
I know this is an older video but what was done with the blue and green wires you disconnected from under the filler neck?
Hey, question for you. How has the performance been since this update? Any issues? Thanks!
No wonder it broke - the Harleian keychain is on the keys =D
Haha your right! Maybe that was the problem in the first place haha!
Greetings...Thanks for the video!! 👍👍
I recently changed mine but 1 of the alignment bearings/sleeves dropped into the oil that was drained. I'm not sure which one. I assembled the whole thing without this. It rides and drives just fine, except the shifter hangs up occasionally on the upshift (it might be the torque spec for the shifter?).
Do I need to take it apart again just to replace this, or can I let it go?
40k mi.
Appreciate your thoughts...
John B.
John,
They are aliment pins that aline the cover and gasket for proper alignment and spacing. So with that being said I would recommend taking the cover back off and putting the pin in. But that is ultimately up to you it could be fine but I always go back to the fact that it was there for a reason so it is probably important to have. Thank you for watching and ride safe!
The rectifier chrome cover Is loose, even if all screw are tight..it creates a 1-2 inch gap between cover in the body on top..I don't want the rain to enter..why is it happening?
Nice video . would like to seen the colors of the factory wires to do the mod ? .
Sorry about that, you can kinda see the factory wires off the regulator is black 3 solid black wires that connect to the 3 white wire from the stator. The 2 black wire with red stripes get wired to the positive post on the battery with an inline fuse. The 2 black wires get wired to the negative post on the battery. Thus is just a general description on what it is I did the modification long before I started making videos. Hope this kinda helps, if there is any interest in how I did the modification I can try to do a video on that in the future.
Hej will try to do this myself. is there oil inside/behind stator cover? do I have to empty motoroil first? what size on screws? good video.
Yes you will have to drain the engine oil to change the stator. And you will need a stator cover gasket.
okey a new stator and gasket are ordered. guess gasket may brake when dismount. thanks för reply@@amidwestfamily112
If I buy the ricks replacement stator and R/R do I still need to do the mod 3? Can I just make the R/R wires longer to move it to the front like you and use the new connectors?
No you don't have to do the mod 3. I don't see why your idea wouldn't work.
What made you decide to do the Mod 3? Did the stators burn out quick?
I decided to do the mod 3 after hearing about the issues people were having with the stators and rectifiers going bad. I just wanted to eliminate any chances I would have on possibly getting stranded somewhere.
@amidwestfamily112 and it hasn't given you any problems beside the video?
@@tylerhayes6267 correct, I had a buddy who had the same bike and his went out while on a trip. So I wanted to try to get ahead of the curve and do the mod to help the parts be more efficient and last longer.
That's hilarious, my Harley buddy with a Harley Trike gave me the same keychain for my 05 C90T. How is that Ricks Stator working. gonna do that soon and new battery
Haha that is funny! I bought my bike from a Harley dealer and that is what the key was on. The stator and rectifier are working good so far, went on a short 2 day trip and didn't have any problems. I need a new battery since mine is a few years old but so far they been good. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Hi I was wondering what you might think I may have done wrong. I did the stator and rectifier change it all seemed to go on right and pluged in all the wired filled with oil then tried to start it and it wont. I'm kind of baffled right now also mad sure that washer was put back on. what are your thoughts
Does it turn over or do you have no power? How are the battery connections the connections have to be really clean and really tight. Have you checked your fuses? Did you put enough oil in? Did you check the connections to the harness to make sure they are plugged in all the way? Is your battery good and fully charged?
@@amidwestfamily112 Thanks for the reply yes the battery is good and when I try to star it the headlight goes dim and no starter noise. I put 4 1/2 qt of oil in so enough oil but I'm not familiar with this bike. The connections under the tank fill was hard to connect. I'm freaking out right now because I don't want to pull the stator cover back off because it went on so well. So I guess I'll have to back track the connections under the tank fill. any thoughts?
@@madderrasmaddness2433 I would double check your connections first. Double check and make sure your battery is fully charged. These bikes are very finicky about needing a fully charged battery. Have you checked the auto decomposition valve? If that is out of adjustment it will prevent mine from starting. If you put it in gear and rock it back a bit to try and turn the motor over a little. Then put it back in neutral and try to start it again. Hopefully this helps
The regulator I bought has 7wires
What bike do you have? If it is a 05 c90 I would say you have the wrong part.
Do we also put sealer on gasket?
I just used the gasket and no leaks so far.
And what size/do I use to remove screws of RR and Stator please?
How did you mount the rectifier to the battery cover?
Drilled 2 holes and bolted the new rectifier to it with some lock nuts.
@@amidwestfamily112 was there room for the bolt heads up against the battery?
@@jackson_cure_all7890 I used some small stainless bolts with a phillps button head that fit in between the ribs on the cover.
Brother I changed the stator and regulator seems to run fine at standstill but going down the road with throttle it shut off tge regulator was smoking and t h e sylenoid fuse blew and melted the guy who I bought it from cut the plug off from the bike end so tgere just black wires any help would be appreciated for sure I seen the part where u wired it into the battery direct I didn't do that
Did you buy the parts new? Did you check voltage output of the new stator? Did you heck all the connections and grounds?
@@amidwestfamily112 the best I could yeah both were brand new the idiots I bought it from cit the plugs off coming from the bike I was told there wasnt a wrong way to hard wire the stator now for the regulator I don’t know I did the same thing u did bolted it right by the battery the voltage was I think 13 something which ain’t the worst
@@mackenzieharmon826 I was told the 3 wires coming off the stator can go to any of the 3 wires off the regulator. Then you have to run the power wires to the battery and the ground wires to the negative terminal on the battery.
How do you see the quality of Ricks
No complaints so far!
Hey man! What size bolt are they to remove stator and rectifier?
Bolt/socket size*
If I remember correctly it was a 8mm socket to remove the bolts on the stator.
@@amidwestfamily112 yesss I order it from amazon yesterday on a guess because I didn't have it and it was between the 9 and the 7 I had lol ty!! Hopefully it's only like a 1h job
Did you make a video of the mod 3 wiring
No I didn't, I did the mod long before I started making videos sorry.
Does it matter what white wire goes to what black wire?
@@shanea.9197 no it doesn't, just as long as they are connected individually with no chance of them accidently touching each other. Thanks for watching!
@@amidwestfamily112 thanks for putting this stuff up. I was able to change mine out because of this video. I love my 05 c90t because I can do almost all the work myself and you helped me with that. So thank you sir. Ya ever in SE wisco hit me up I'll buy ya a beer.
@@shanea.9197 glad I was able to help you out! Sounds good sir, keep the rubber down
Link to Taiwan supplier ?
I'm in the Phil's !
Here is the link to the company I purchased the parts from, hope this helps.
ricksmotorsportelectrics.com/
you dont know the torque specs for the cover?
No I don't, I just did a alternating pattern and snugged them up to what I thought was good approximately 8 ft-lbs
I saw some parts for a much more reasonable price is there any particular reason you went with Rick's stator and rectifier
From the research I did it seemed that the Rick's parts seemed to be a better quality and people has had less issues with them. These being heart of the charging system I wanted to put the best parts in I could find. So it wouldn't leave me stranded somewhere. Hopefully this helps you.
Rick's Stators are made in Taiwan. My OEM stator last 10,000 miles. Installed a Rick's along with doing the Mod3 and it only last 10,000 miles. I installed a $40.00 Stator off Ebay and it last 20,000 miles. I just bypassed Rick's and purchased straight from Taiwan.
@@Badwolf6466 just curious, when you did the Rick's stator, did you replace the rectifier at the same time? Or was it OEM still?
@@KrS14 I did the Ricks stator along with the Ricks RR. I have since learned to help prolong the stator, I run my oil level at the max level. To the top of the oil level site glass. It helps keep a little more of the stator in oil to help keep it cool. Rerouted my harness and mounted the rr to the front of the bike on the battery case. Helps keep the rr cooler.
@@Badwolf6466 you have that brand and part # ..also rectifier/regulator it's time for me to do the same gonna do the mod3 while I have it all apart also and relocate the rectifier
About to buy a used motorcycle pretty much the same bike it's got 53,000 miles on it and the guy wants $4,000 is it worth the price
I paid a little more then 4k with only 12k miles on mine when I bought it I would say it seems a little steep but see if he would take 3k
Going to see it Thursday morning.. hopefully he will drop at least 800 bucks.. it is fully dressed with bags and aftermarket pipes headlights and windshield still steep imo .. thanks for the reply
A lot of “bolts”monotone
You know it haha! Thank you for watching!
