wnaplay Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 Well I got the carbs put back together and started the bike. Now onto problem #2. The stator wires are very hot. 1 min after starting the bike, the wires are to hot to touch. The stock connectors have been replaced with butt(ha I said butt) connectors due to original owner wrecking it and ripping them apart. This is a newer problem. The connectors have been on there for awhile without issue. They have started to burn through the heat shrink and melt together. I have a spare R/R that I am not sure is any good or not. Should I try to swap them out or could it be something else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hcstreetriding Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 hey man, i am having the same problem, so far the possible causes i have found include a bad stator, bad r/r, bad ECU, bad battery, short somewhere in the main harness. I believe mine is stemming from a short in the harness. Check for battery leakage, if it is out of spec then that suggests that there is a short somewhere.

Dweezel Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 Yeah, that sounds like something is pulling heavy current from the stator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wnaplay Posted July 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 what kind of bike is this on just curiousBike is a 98 cbr900rr. Could be the battery. I may switch the rectifier and see if it makes a difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hcstreetriding Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 battery is a good possibility, i had mine tested at auto zone and they said it was still good, i dont know how much i trust that test though, i might go ahead and drop a new battery in it before i start replacing other crap.
