March 19, 201610 yr I have a 2015 300txt pro racing. Love the bike. Recently it started carrying on when the fan came on( like it was running out of fuel).When the fan kicked off, the bike would run normal again. We started checking all the connections and discovered the Stator was missing the three bolts that hold it on from the factory. Replaced these bolts and it runs fine now. Hope this saves someone the time and energy we went through to find the problem.
March 19, 201610 yr They were probably out of bolts that day and the assembler had not been paid. Not much quality control when a co. is going under. At least the stator was ok!
March 20, 201610 yr Wow!! Thats the kind of stuff that can make people jump to a different brand, not good:(
March 20, 201610 yr Every manufacturer has issues like this. Bikes that don`t shift, no gaskets, etc. When I worked at the local Yamaha shop I had a YZ80 transmission bearing lock up in sixth gear on the pavement. What a stop that was!
March 20, 201610 yr They use Super Glue for light weight! The bolts are for the Enduro model! Edited March 20, 201610 yr by copemech
March 20, 201610 yr So last bikes left the factory jan / feb last year and this has just caused a problem now ? Surprised the magnetic flywheel and vibration didn't just pull the stator off straight away.

March 20, 201610 yr Author Surprisingly enough it had stayed on the entire time without damaging anything! When we pulled the flywheel..the stator came out with it because of the magnetic factor. The two lead wires were skinned up pretty good and the irons had some slight skuffs but did not look to terrible considering. One question I do have? At low rpm, when the fan kicks on if you let off the throttle the fan seems to slow down and when you are back on the throttle the fan seems to come back on. It only does this at low rpm. I do know they changed the fan setup for 2015. My 2014 was not like this. Does this seem normal? Edited March 20, 201610 yr by quinn
