Choptember How-To XS650 Banshee Charging System Swap

[chattownxs]

Every single piece of wire is new as of last week and all the splices are good but I will check it. Is there a way to test the regulator?

[Bent]

I bought a 91 Suzuki VX800 Stator and the bolt pattern is to big. Can someone advise or put together a list of stators in use?

I have posted this list twice in this very thread. These are the stators that are the proper size, but not all of them have been tried and trued. I guess the suzuki one can be ruled out. I used a VF500 and I know it works so try that.

[Bent]

The BB Bikeshop site shows the G74 sizing 103/42/20 but the VX800 stator its far bigger, I saw your list and I appreciate it, I used it but I'm still on the hunt now.

Here's another question:

My cover doesnt have the removeable timing plate. Does anyone have a quick method they used to establish timing marks?

[Bent]

I bought the stator on ebay, I was reading the specs on BB Bikeshop

I set the motor at full advance and used paint pens to make new timing marks, based on the measurement between the factory A____F__T marks.

[crashandburn]

got all my stuff in today for the swap all went well till the stator didn't fit just a hair to big. o well order right one tonight. well i was over at xs650 garage and found this longer list. not sure if it correct but sure does give more option.

i'm finding my PMA to be a piece of shit.... I can't get the bike started. put my meter on the regulator and i'm getting like 2-3 volts when kicking....... the regulator is new from hugh, but the stator is from ebay....

[KentMoney]

is it just me or are these stators expensive now? I did an ebay search on all those stators listed and I couldn't find anything for less than $90.

am I doing something wrong?

[KentMoney]

welp, managed to piece together everything I need except for the banshee stator bracket adaptor (which I hope to make myself) and the total cost was $285.

I guess I'm happy with that, hopefully I won't have to purchase any more shit for this mod and it will work the first time.

Capacitor, battery, ???

Did the bike run before?
I had troubles with a mini battery. Wasn't charged enough and would fire the coils, I was only getting a few volts while running. I switched out to a 12v battery from rural king and rechecked all my connections and made sure everything had a good ground.

Runs like a champ now!

I think the battery was bad, may try another and something a bit different. ( I was thinking of trying to find a mini 12v battery that's comparable with a wall charger.) My trickle down couldn't save that mini triple I

Try a different battery or another angle maybe. good luck

[crashandburn]

finished the swap today. used a stator from a suzuki lt-f4wd. works great
