Title: Oil procedure after stator change, help please!
Post by Chakenios on 09/11/14 at 16:08:59

Hi, i have a 1995 LS650, that thanks to you guys I was able to determine that it had problems. Basically it was not generating and the battery was getting depleted. With troubleshooting found here I was able to verify that my Stator was fried. I bought a new one from Ricks Motorsport and installed it. I was hoping to reuse the stator cover gasket, but it was basically all broken, so I had to order one, and it took 10 days to get to me, during that time my engine was without oil, the stator cover and the oil filter cover, I covered the engine with rags to have some protection.

Now I have the gasket and ready to install everything but I am worried about any dirt that could have gotten into the engine during this time. Should I assemble, load oil run the bike for a little time and then change again the oil, or should I not worry at all.

Please help, any suggestions accepted.

You know the environment best. Run a finger on the inside,is it dusty? I've covered open engines,inside the shop. I'm not shy about using plenty of rags. One layer might not be enough. Or,maybe you nailed it! Look at it,feel of it.

If it was dusty what would you do, how would you clean it, products, how would you proceed with the oil?

Thanks for your help.

Yeah,... it's up to you to decide how much cleaning you need to do...

T-shirt material is pretty lint free... (don't use paper towels, or fluffy towels, no socks, no sweatshirts) Use a clean piece of t-shirt with fresh oil on it, and wipe around everything...

It ain't heart surgery,... but keeping things clean is good...

And after that just oil up and go?

Thanks for your help.

Ohh,you can Tell us. Just don't Blame us! Heck,when she blows, uhh, I mean IF she blows,we want pictures.
I Do wish I knew where you are from. That way I would know a little more about who I'm picking on. Dude,it's gonna be alright.. It's not heart surgery.They don't build the motor in an operating room. Just be reasonable,use good judgment.. it will be okay.

It actually blow up, smoke and everything!!!! :'(

Naaaa, it went ok, i did get smoke from some oil i spilled on the exaust thermal wrap, i washed it with water let it dry and that was it.

No pics my hands were too dirty.

One pointer for those that will do this, after i replaced the stator and assembled all, and turned on the bike, I tested the voltage on all three phases at idle speed it was about 27 VAC, I connected the rectifier to the stator and disconnected from the bike I got 36 VDC, I was really confused, but I took the risk and connected the rectifier to the bike the voltage was brought down to a nice 14VDC, my battery is charging and my bike is thumping.

Thanks for the help and Laughs, guess the blowing up would be in another job. ;D

Ya done Good,dude..We all celebrate the successes of each other. I gotta admit,it would have been a little hard for me to hook up a 36 volt output to a battery.. I would have had to ask first. I'm glad your" blow-up" wasn't a battery. I've been there. It's a moment to be avoided. I got sparks close to the battery vent and it sounded like a 22went off.. Congratulations,man.
