Re: [St] St Digest, Vol 38, alternator problems one more thing.



I forgot to mention, of the stator is burned THE REG/RECT is also bad or weakened ALWAYS change BOTH items.
Also when you have the reg and stator out check the continuity of the 3 wires in the harness with an ohmmeter, there must not be any continuity between them . (mine were burned up, and i had to redo that harness) it's in the main bundle and can be removed. Or you can make a replacement bundle (use at least 16Ga wire.    .

Thanks Bill. 

I think the url is w/o s at the end of sport. Don already gave me the 
info. Great to know you already bought something from them and it was OK. 

But the shipping time from US will last 10 days or so to France. 

How much did you pay for the RR? 
But I think the RR is OK. Regarding the way it's made (I unwound the faulty coil 
yesterday night) I am not surprised of the failure.

>huh, isn't a stator a fundamental part of an alternator 

It's the common way to name the only electrical part of a permanent magnet 
alternator. The other as for automotive is called alternator and contains 
a stator and a rotor (excitation) plus RR. 

The permanent magnet is hooked to the crank. The stator is tighten on the engine cover and is 
an independent part.

All the recent discussion about tires and the flurry of tire change 
activity at work (There are so many people buying new tires and 
wanting them changed that the shop is considering two additional 
Coates machines to meet the service demands) has triggered some deep thinking. 
The huge love/hate relationships that we have with various brands has 
to have some environmental factors. Too many of us like tire A but 
hate tire B for the issue to be solely the riders. 
Is it just the average weather conditions of an region that make it 
one manufactures tires work best, or is it the abrasiveness of the roads, Both? 

So I thought that a poll of a few simple questions might sort some of 
this out. I'm going to limit this poll to out experiences with the 
tires on our sport touring bikes. 
I'm going to enter the responses in a flat file database and see if 
there are sweet spots for particular brands or models of tires. 

1. What city, State (or province) and country do you live in? 
2. On a scale of 1-10 how would you rate the abrasiveness of the 
roads in your area? 
3. What was the best tire (brand and model) you have had on the bike? 
4. What characteristic made it the best (wear, traction, feedback, etc)? 
5. What was the second best tire (brand and model) you have had on the bike? 
6. What characteristic made it the 2nd best (wear, traction, feedback, etc)? 
7. What was the worst tire (brand and model) that you have had on the bike? 
8. What characteristic made it the worst (wear, traction, feedback, etc)? 
9. If you had to buy new tires tomorrow, What brand and model tires 
would you buy? 
10. If tire pricing was equalled, would you still choose this brand? 
11. If the answer to question 10 was no, What tire brand and model 
would you really want to buy?

Spot on - turned out to be the fuse.  Not sure why it blew, but it has   
held up since changing.  Thanks a million - it would have taken me   
days to work out it was on its own fused circuit I expect.

1. What city, State (or province) and country do you live in? 
  Winston-Salem, NC

roads in your area? 
It varies greatly so I would say a 5 on a 1-10 scale 
3. What was the best tire (brand and model) you have had on the bike? 
Michelin Pilot Road 
4. What characteristic made it the best (wear, traction, feedback, etc)? 
Wear and traction.  They have a very linear turnin and got traction.  They will both break lose somewhat unpredictably compared to D220's which slide more readily but more predicably 
5. What was the second best tire (brand and model) you have had on the bike? 
Metzeler Z6.   
6. What characteristic made it the 2nd best (wear, traction, feedback, etc)? 
Similar to the Pilot Road but much harder to mount due to a stiffer side wall 
7. What was the worst tire (brand and model) that you have had on the bike? 
Bridestone BT050 the OEM tire 
8. What characteristic made it the worst (wear, traction, feedback, etc)? 
I wore the OEM rear tire out in 1,500 miles 
9. If you had to buy new tires tomorrow, What brand and model tires 
would you buy? 
Michilin Pilot roads, the are much easier to mount than Metzlers 
10. If tire pricing was equalled, would you still choose this brand? 
Yes 
11. If the answer to question 10 was no, What tire brand and model 
would you really want to buy?Nope

Yikes!  Having struggled to mount a couple of the Pilot Roads for friends, I'm 
sticking with the Storms for now but can't imagine what that Metz must be like 
to mount!
