Hi,

I have an 06 beta 250, it will be 1 year old this month.

went out riding on saturday ran fine for an hour an a half, stopped for a drink, when i went to start it again it started then died, all my mates took the p***, saying oh stator gone, stators gone.

could not get the bugger to go again, changed the plug, checked the fuel, checked to see if there was a spark and there wasn't, so i took out my coil and tried it on my mates 07 it worked ok, then i took my console(cdi?) out, that worked ok on his. unpluged my kill button still no joy.

only thing left is the stator(i think) which has really peed me off, i take the plastic cover off after every ride start the bike, leave it to run for 5 mins and don't put the cover back on till the next time i ride.

i thought they had sorted the stator problems out.

any advise appreciated

Thanks

Have you tried kicking it over in darkness to see if the electrics are shorting out anywhere? Take out the two oval covers up by the headstock beforehand. Long shot but worth a go and costs nowt!

Will try that tomorrow

thanks

p.s

i took the stator plate off and it doesn`t look too bad, no rust pretty dry.

gonna put a multimeter on it tommorrow and see if theres any power, also when i try and kick it up if the light switch is on the light brightens, wonder if i could switch the wires around if two of the stator plates are for the lights/horn etc and two are for the spark plug.

exactly the same thing happened to a mate of mine .twelve month old beta 250 just stopped during a trial just before xmas .took it back to pennine trialsport where he,d bought it from .it was the stator that had gone .had it repaired there then got a refund from lampkins .

might give lampkins a ring tommorow, its really got me narked, cos i done everything to stop this from happening

My 06 exactly 12 months old had the stator go, reported the problem to Lampkins and they covered under warranty. Every year they say the Stator problem is fixed, watch out you lucky 2007's

MY O5 DID IT ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO NO PROBLEM THOUGH AS LAMPKINS SORTED IT OUT UNDER WARRANTY TOP DEALER

I had similar problems with my '03 bike a couple of weeks ago. It turned out to be the dreaded stator failure.
