MM , It's only in semi retirement. When I moved from the Bay Area to the Central Valley I only road my dirt bike. It's goin need some new hoses and tires to be road worthy. Then I bought my sportster so there it sits. My other SR left my stranded about 3 miles from home on a 95 degree day when the stator failed. Pushing a 380 lb bike 3 miles in 95 degree heat kinda pissed me off. So it will get the stator rewound before it goes anywhere.Sold the other SR a few years back after it got a rewound stator to a guy in Texas and last I heard he still rides it Dailey !

I have had THREE (3) Yamaha s in my life and all three have died from Alternator problems ... because of the wound rotors w/brushes, They do have powerful Alternators ... now here is a story of a burned out stator even after the SR500 had a permanent magnate rotor . Even the new SR-400 has the wound rotor and brushes ... will they ever learn ??? Sad

so I guess its best I never got a FOURTH ! Wink

Thanks .

MM , SRs are great bikes and the older ones didn't have brushes like the newer SR 400s , but the 500s had 2 problems the cdi was problematic but the stators were the real problem. I owned six running SRs and two or three parts bikes. There is a guy in the UK that makes a cdi , another guy in Georgia that rewinds the stators , and a complete ignition system for them too. The one I still own has wiesco h/c piston 518 cc mega cycle cam,mikuni vm36 & header with a super trapp with oil cooler , dual drilled front discs and the list goes on and on and on. It's return is nearing must finish the tracker and another bike before it sees light again. Cool
