Fat Kiwi I did get the stator sorted. I won't be home for another 2 months (in Mozambique), but I do appreciate your skills in delving into the heart of the Leonelli. I hope that I won't have to repair it for some time but this is an excellent reference for the diy guy. thanks

I do recall noticing radial play in the crankshaft/ bearing when I try to lift the magneto up/down. I really didn't want to have to go through the teardown with new seals, bearings etc. With my luck most of the time it ends in new piston, crank etc etc. I am ok with the mechanics part, not so good with electrical...

Thanks for the inputs. I send it to Steven at Bradford Ignitions and he is already onto it. But he mention that the inner side of the rotor has been rubbing against the trigger. I am afraid that there may be too much end float on the crank shaft. I was reading on the forum that there is often some end float on the 290 due to the type of bearings. Can't think of anything else that would cause this, woodruff key is in place and it was torqued down properly. Now I am worried that I may have to do a crank bearing replacement... Oddly there is no noise, or knocks when its running. Is there any way to replace the bearing without full teardown? With my KTM its possible to pull the crank bearing out without tearing into it....

Hi everyone I have a 2006 Sherco 290 that had been kicking back, hard starting and even started and ran backwards (which is more funny than a clown on fire) However, I suspected that the stator was at fault. Upon removal it appears that the stator somehow at some point rubbed against the flywheel. I removed the stator and sent it to a reputable stator rebuilder in Canada but they said we can't repair this one due that it look like something hit the inner pulse coil and we do not have any specification for this to validate if it's good are not. I provided them all the specs that were available on trials central for testing the stator, but if it is for the Hall Sensor no specs are available. My question is does anyone have the specs for the Hall Sensor or should I send the stator to Splatshop for a rebuild? thanks in advance, I have been reading this forum for some time and always found the answers to my questions
