If so, is it an exact fit and is it true they are stronger?   Logged     Sig Pic deleted - larger than 450 pixels and 50 KB   The administrator has disabled public write access. #431729 Curt (Moderator) Never to old to ride! Moderator Posts: 12511 Re:1700 stater in 1600 7 Months ago   Don't bother with a 1700 starter get a Warrior starter it fits but does not go all the way deep into the case. I shimmed mine with washers. To get the true benefit you need to upgrade your wires to #4 and get the warrior starter relay. Some of the guys have bought the Thunder Fire starters but you still need the wires and relay. My Warrior starter has been working great for 3 years now.   Logged     My Site Black Ice is Shiny, Black Ice is Deadly, Ya Wanna Ride My BlackIce?   The administrator has disabled public write access. #431737 smokescreens (User) lifes better riding twins Platinum Boarder Posts: 5508 Re:1700 stater in 1600 7 Months ago   wait starter or stator? just making sure its not a typo . for the stator im pretty sure they will swap out. if its the starter then do as curt said and do the warrior with a warrior relay   Logged     feel free to look thru my albums http://s1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd490/jasonwoody/ email me at jasonwoody1982@yahoo.com my 2005 midnight 1700   The administrator has disabled public write access. #431742 scottw (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1608 Re:1700 stater in 1600 7 Months ago   Curt usually rec's a hi perf 310cca battery (vs lower output stock 270cca battery) along with the HI trq starter/larger high perf battery cables/HD relay etc thats also a very good upgrade & likely overlooked it. Must the be over 50 thing!!/LOL!!! Just kidding with ya Curt!,i'm there too!!/LOL!!!! Pasted below are a couple links to a high quality DEKA AGM-MAINT FREE-FACTORY ACTIVATED- HI PERF 310CCA BATTERY,1ST IS FOR $69. that's significnatly cheaper then getting the lower stock perf 270cca battery from a local auto parts store or bike shop @ approx 2x the cost that you more often then not have to fill with acid to activate and charg prior to use.2nd link is same batt mfg but is a few $ more but still a gret price at mid $70 range. http://www.ebay.com/itm/ETX20L-Sealed-AGM-Deka-Battery-USA-Motorcycle-ATV-Snowmobile-JetSki-Buell-Harley-/200657407712?hash=item2eb81d0ee0&item=200657407712&vxp=mtr http://www.ebay.com/itm/ETX20L-Sealed-AGM-Deka-Battery-USA-Motorcycle-ATV-Snowmobile-JetSki-Buell-Harley-/200666961867?_trksid=p4340.m185&_trkparms=algo%3DSIC.NPJS%26its%3DI%26itu%3DUA%26otn%3D5%26pmod%3D200657407712%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D3751491885522804770 Scott   Logged     Last Edit: 2011/10/26 11:18 By scottw.   The administrator has disabled public write access. #431744 Dragoon (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 787 Re:1700 stater in 1600 7 Months ago   stator...I am having charging issues. I might try one of the 32 amp HD modified from Motogirls, however, i am on my way in this morning for them to check out the entire system and based on my meager attempts, i think it may be the reg/relay.   Logged     Sig Pic deleted - larger than 450 pixels and 50 KB   The administrator has disabled public write access. #431746 smokescreens (User) lifes better riding twins Platinum Boarder Posts: 5508 Re:1700 stater in 1600 7 Months ago   i wouldn't go bigger than the stock 1700 stator, that would put a huge strain on the rectifier (witch you will need to upgrade the same time as stator)   Logged     feel free to look thru my albums http://s1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd490/jasonwoody/ email me at jasonwoody1982@yahoo.com my 2005 midnight 1700   The administrator has disabled public write access. #431747 scottw (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1608 Re:1700 stater in 1600 7 Months ago   smokescreens wrote: wait starter or stator? just making sure its not a typo . for the stator im pretty sure they will swap out. if its the starter then do as curt said and do the warrior with a warrior relay   Logged     Last Edit: 2011/10/26 11:19 By scottw.   The administrator has disabled public write access. #431768 Erbman02 (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 3801 Re:1700 stater in 1600 7 Months ago   Dragoon wrote: stator...I am having charging issues.

I would not try that. There is only so much room (physically) for the stator, and should it not fit, most places do not accept returns on electrical stuff. The 1700 stator from an "05" and newer are 29amps, older units are 21amp. But you also must change the rec/reg to get the benefits of the stator. Without changing the rec/reg, there will be no benefit.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
