Lukewarner99 Posted November 26, 2017 Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 Hey guys I’m putting together a 2002 Yamaha Banshee and when I start it up and it runs my stator starts smoking what could be wrong with it and how could I fix it and also my key switch is missing and I don’t know if it been bypassed or not but my kill switch doesn’t work eother Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banshee2105 Posted November 26, 2017 Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 Wait, how is your stator smoking? Your stator doesn't spin itself so if something in there is smoking it's not the stator unless something else is rubbing against it.Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukewarner99 Posted November 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 Well I don’t know if it’s rubbing on something I know the flywheel is what spins around it but when I look through the little holes In the flywheel parts of the stator look melted almost have no clue why it’s smoking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something is rubbing somewhere. Which isn't good. Sounds like something is bent, or installed improperly.

Lukewarner99 Posted November 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 So you don’t think my stators shorting or something it smells burnt and Are there any common places where wires break in the harness or how should I start look for the kill switch wire there is a wire from the harness that’s black with a white stripe that isn’t hooked up to the black with a white stripe coming off the switches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoppedupandcutdown Posted November 26, 2017 Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 No, it could very well be the stator itself. Harnesses burn alot on the right side of the airbox The black/white tracer wire is the kill wire to the CDI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukewarner99 Posted November 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 Yep it was that black wire with the white stripe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleeper06 Posted November 26, 2017 Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 Stators most certainly burn up. Do an ohm test . A stator produces voltage. The components that use that voltage draw current on the wires , if the wound coils on the stator break down they can definitely smoke with the bike running and drawing amperage on the compromised coil wires.

Lukewarner99 Posted November 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 Ok so i took the flywheel and stator off and it’s definetly burned up its all black and brown is there a reasOn why or does that just happen over time I lived at the wores I don’t see anything wrong so what could have caused this?

Lukewarner99 Posted November 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 I think whoever put it together last only put 2 bolts in that connected the stator to the backing plate because the didn’t line up the correct holes could this be the problem?

sleeper06 Posted November 26, 2017 Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 Normally the epoxy coating break down n moisture gets in there n reeks havoc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleeper06 Posted November 26, 2017 Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 Clean it up n look for breaks or cracks in the epoxy coating around the poles . Have you done an ohm test on it yet, if not do it. Source coil resistance between green n red 13.7-20.5 ohm at 68* , temps play a role in resistance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadianshee Posted November 27, 2017 Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 As already stated from other members to test the stator. If you can get access to a megohm-meter (megar) one which has a manual selectable voltage rage you can also test for insulation break down of each pole. Most alternator repair shops will have one.Sent from my LG-H831 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleeper06 Posted November 27, 2017 Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 If you don't know what your doing I don't recommend using a megger, you can zap yourself pretty easily. No need to go crazy a good multi is all you need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
