Alternator Rebuild

Anyone have a good thread on this topic ? To test stator.....how to clean up that round copper disc....scotch brite or 1500 grit sandpiper, or crocus cloth or leave it alone.....???

Do I have to take off that nut to get the stator out ??

Brushes look fine....easy to replace but I don't have too....

Thanks in Advance...

 

Howdy, I can tell you this there ain't much to it, check to see if you're seal is working; if you have a leak you need to take off the rotor with a special bolt, then remove 3 torx screws from the seal retainer plate and drive the old seal out. there should be at least 10MM of brush sticking up from the brush holder. I don't know if my case is typical but the brush holder screws are so tight I could not get them off. If you need to change your brushes, you'll need to find a way to clamp the cover down to get the screws out. The last thing to check is continuity and resistance of the rotor and the electrical integrity of the stator.

 

if it ain't broke don't fix it. yours don't look broke, put it back together

 

I agree....but an inspection & cleanup makes for a good running bike.....just going thur everything prior to getting this boy started....when thru starter yesterday & inspected & cleaned that up as well.....

 

Brushes are ok....wear limits are still exposed.....will clean up copper rotor with pink pencil eraser & isopropyl alcohol......just have to straigthen out stator....it is a little crooked after I messed with it.....

 

Got Stator back in...just took a little nudging .....3 bolt holding cover on was a little tough....just would not line up & start to thread in hole...hope I did not cross thread it......
