Replacing the Regulator/Rectifier
The photo above shows the Rectifier/Regulator on the bike, with the connector unplugged. Remove your rec/reg by unscrewing the two bolts at the sides, lifting the cover-boot up out of the way, and then unplugging the connector. See photo below.
To install your new rec-reg, just bolt it on the bike, plug in the connector by just snapping it on, and then push the cover-boot back down over the connector. Done.
Finishing Up
Reinstall the front exhaust pipe, preferably using a new exhaust gasket.
Tip: I do not recommend torquing the exhaust header-flange nuts, as the flanges on many aftermarket exhaust systems are thinner than stock, and bend easily. Just tighten moderately. Then after your first few rides, check the nuts again.
Reinstall the right-side floorboard assembly by torquing the two button-head bolts under the floorboard assembly using 35 ft-lbs of torque.
Then just reconnect the battery, bolt the side-covers on, and snap your seat back on. That's all there is to it.
Now you’re ready to add your favorite electrical accessories, knowing you won’t come out to a dead battery—at least not because your stator couldn’t cut it. You also won't be stranded somewhere because your rec/reg got fried.
Ride on.

2001 Road Star Silverado: Stator coil as
Written by justdave, on 05-25-2011 15:11
This is a GREAT step by step explanation.
My 2001 Road Star Silverado stator coil assembly resistance is 0.9 ohms; twice what it should be. Therefore according to the service manual I need to replace the stator.
Does anyone know IF Electro Sport Industries have a stator & matching rectifier / regulator available at this time?
I planned on going on the Rolling Thunder ride this Friday but now I am concerned that my bike will leave me stranded along the way. Will this excessive stator resistance drain my battery?

Does anyone know where I can get a HO St

I've got a 2000 MM Limited, the stator won't put out enough power to run my road lights and triple whammy at the same time, everyone around here that had R* said try it on a long run so I did guess you know the answer, rode 50 miles all highway speed 60+ got where I was going and shut the bike down for just guessing about a hour, went out and it acted like the compression release wasn't working, (slow spin to first cyl and stop) one guy at the bar had a multi-tester checked the battery and got 9.8 volts, another had jumper cables so he got me going after much cussing and kicking rocks, Rode the bike home another 50 miles, with the rode lights off and let the bike set over night, next morning it started like a new one. I checked the battery cables, connections in the starter wires, the connection at the rectifier the whole shooting match all were clean and making good connection. Then I read this topic. Well I started my hunt for a HO stator, Electrosport, baron, and any that carried stators, no luck nada, no one has one for Road*, oh they list them but they never get any in. Then I remembered in the artical someone said the later model stators were better so I started my big buck search, that didn't work out either, talked to the local Star dealer about one he said the 05 stater was the one for me, I told him get me one and guess what, the part number for the 05* is the same as the 2000, thought the part number on the invoice looked familiar, he checked his computer and sure enought the same part number 99-07. Now what do i do? Sure would like to run the road lights on but can't. Does anyone know a place a guy can get a sure engough High Output Stator???? |

My bike is a 2002 XV1600. The stator on a 2002 is rated at 21 amps. The "upgrade" dropped me to 20 amps. All the info is from YAMAHA. They suggested a replacement from Rick's Motorsport and Electric. As soon as I can find the rating for their replacement (21-414H Hot Shot New Stator) I might give it a try. Just trying to keep anybody else from making the same mistake. |

monkeyboy1969, I believe Randy says this article is for 99-04's. Sorry you had the trouble. And thanks for putting your note in so others don't make the same mistake.

I followed this article to upgrade my stator. However, Stators for '05 and up Roasdstars are only rated at 20amps. These bikes have a lighter flywheel so a bigger stator is not needed. This came from YAMAHA. Thanks for the misinformation, an expensive lesson learned. |

my road star 2003 silver edition has the stock stator. I have installed passing lights, XM radio, and running lights. The electrical draw is too much for the capacity of the charging system. I would like to replace the stator but I keep getting confusing advice from Yamaha Techs. Randy Fox wrote on October 2007 that he replaced the stator with the superseded yamaha stator and the upgraded stator produces 31 amps. The yamaha techs said that the stock stator produces 21 amps and that the upgraded stator produces 21 amps.
Could Randy Fox or anyone else give me some pointer. PLEASE! |
