How many people sent him their burned out stators?

Was this just an elaborate con to get some almost unobtainable parts from badweb folk?

Maybe he got tired of uniformed people throwing stones at him and took his analysis offline or to another forum.

Dan, that's a really offensive allegation to make publicly. Did you have some kind of transaction of money or goods with him in which you feel you were cheated?

I believe it was meant as a joke. That's certainly the way I took it.

I was wondering where he had gone .... forums need people like timebandit that are looking for genuine engineering solutions to problems and have the knowledge to make them work.
I hope he reappears soon :-)

I wasn't trying to be mean, I should have phrased that better. I apologize to you all and Timebandit.

My stator is starting to worry me and I was looking through the electrical forum for some answers.

Cool, sorry I jumped to a conclusion as well.

I think the EBR modded rotor is the clearest best hope.

If it were me, I'd do the EBR hole thingy, then when my stator died I'd have it rewound with a few less turns.

I'm having a modified rotor fitted next week to mine which has been machined in the uk by an engineering company that does work for the the Uk's most Buell friendly dealer ever :-) ........ postage and imports etc make the EBR one expensive here especially due to the fact we have to pay postage both ways.

Kevmean,
Any further information on this would be really appreciated. This could make a charging system fix affordable over here in the UK.

The bikes going in on the 4th (next thursday ) The engineering guy has apparently made a jig using the EBR modified rotor as a pattern and has already drilled a standard rotor ready to exchange with mine, they plan then to have mine drilled so they can offer a ride in exchange service to somebody else ; )...I'll let you know how it goes. I have a brand new spare stator so i'll get them to run an output test before they take it to bits and if there is any doubt on the health of the existing stator i'll have the new one fitted at the same time.

I read a post on another forum about a guy who machined his own hole in his and has had good luck so far.

EBR rotor seems like a good solution. My rewound stator failed (non-heat related issue), and, other than the failure area, it still looked brand new after several thousand miles, and most of that was on the stock regulator without the harness.

Freshly rewound stator to address the failure issue, EBR rotor, and CE-605 SB, and my charging system seems to be spot-on.
