Hi guys,is there a differance between the stators fitted to Classics, Commanders and FIs? 'cos while investigating the nasty noise coming from the engine on the Classic I noticed the little copper? tops on the windings of the stator were starting to lift and brush lightly on the magnets(no,this isn't the source of the noise,we ran the bike with the stator and plate off )rgds,J.B.
Hi jbTo the best of my knowledge comander/f1 genoratorss are unavalable, graham gets them rewound. Afew people have bought the ones of ebay. Regards wayne.
Commander / F1& F1 Sport generators can be obtained from Graham and I imagine from Yamaha dealers.The generator fitted to the Classic and Interpol is not the same as the one fitted to the above. Try Graham for either.
I have contacted Graham and he is getting an old one re-wound for me.Duering my "surf" I found a company that has new stators for Commanders& F1s,hence my inquiary "Could they be used in a Classic" It seems not,ride safe,J.B.
John if you are removing all of this are you getting your engine removed from your frame as you seem to be doing a good deal of the work?Lock this up and remove primary side then drop engine from gearbox etc etc
Yep,I am removing the engine(as requested by one Paul Ralph Esq:'cos he has'nt the room in his w/shop for the Classic )hopefully I will have the engine out before the 7th of Sept;so I can drop it off at his home on my way down to Devon,ride safe,J.B.
