Open coil

I have measured the stator coil on my virago xv535 1990 and it is open. I am wondering how hard a job is that to replace.?? Anyone have any luck with that out there.??

As I recall..the stator is on the left behind the small cover with the Yamaha name on it...It shouldn't be a major job to replace...remove a couple of allen screws and a bolt, unplug it and it's out...
Kinda make sure that you need to replace the stator before you tear into it...the stator, new OEM, runs a little over $250, the rotary assm. almost $400, the pick-up assm..over $200...these are new OEM...after market should be a little cheaper

Thanks, I have the clymer book describing the removal. Sometimes it leaves steps out or goes over board on what has to come off the bike. I will keep you posted. Thanks agin.

I was measuring the rectifier end of the system not the stator. The stator measures fine. I put a new rectifier in but, it still doesn't get up to the 14 to 15vdc the book talks about. I replaced that same part last year. Don't know what is causing them to burn up?? Weird. Later

Rode the bike to work this morning. NO help!! Replaced the year old regulator and still the bike doesn't perform at top end. God that sucks!! 80 dollars a pop for that regulator.

Take it to a dealer or repair shop that can do some diagnostics on it...That would probably be less than $80....

ya, i called one place and said they didn't have anyway to check it out. I will keep calling around. Thanks
