Hi guys,
If a stator was to fail or be temperamental, what would the effect be on the bike? ie what does the stator actually do? Last weekend i was out on the bike. Started 1st kick, rode sweet for 10 mins, then all of a sudden it started making a real lumpy whiring sound on tickover. It wanted to cut out unless i kept the revs up. i wound the tickover up slightly to stop it actually stalling. Then 5 minutes later it was ticking over okay again. When i say okay, it certainly wasn't lumpy or making a misfire sound, but i didn't have full confidence in it, especially after what had happened 5 minutes earlier.
I fit a new spark plug but that doesnt seem to have cured anything, but it was worth a try.
I will get this to a specialist, its just finding the time during their opening hours for me to do it. In the meantime your help is much appreciated.
