Fixing the Generator Rotor (an Aside)

If your bike is a model 2003, or earlier, I highly recommend you do the Starter Spin Fix while you have the generator exposed. See the Fixing the Starter Spin Problem article in this website for details.

If your bike is a model 2004, or earlier, you may wish to upgrade the power of your generator stator. That is not a misprint. Yamaha did not update its marginally adequate stator and rectifier until the 2005 models.

See the Replacing Your Generator Stator and Your Rectifier/Regulator article in this website for details on upgrading your stator, as well as installing this area of the engine.
