    A while back - about four months or so - my reg/rec went and took my stator with it. Anyway I replaced the reg/rec with an aftermarket one and same for the stator. The replacement stator was an Electrex one and it's just gone again.

    Has anyone else had any problems with an Electrex stator? My local indie reckons they're a bit below par...

    I thought they were supposed to be good kit. Have you spoken to them?

    I called WeMoto who've said that they'll send it off for testing and refund if it's faulty. If no fault's found then they'll return it to me. WeMoto reckon they don't have many problems. I've searched the net and found more good news than bad. Did find one site where the guy had two of them fail, first one because the windings got pinched between the stator body and the mounting, second because of poor quality insulation causing the windings to short on one of the poles.

    Anyhoo I'll whip it out tomorrow morning and take a close look at it before sending it off. Replacement arriving Saturday so I'll get that fitted and then test the reg/rec. Hopefully that hasn't failed again. If the fault isn't the stator then I guess I'd better check the wiring upstream from the reg/rec

    BTW have finally ditched those original cans for a set of Scorpion stainless ovals. Sounds a bit like a Ducati now :)

    Well finally she's all fixed (again) and the stator's going back to Electrex - they'll test it and refund me if they agree that it's failed for no good reason. If not they'll send it back to me in which case I'll probably get it rewound and keep as a spare

    That occurred to me too, but I've photographed the failed windings and I'm bloody minded enough to take them to the small claims court if necessary. I doubt there's a court in the land that would see any other reason for me dismantling my bike, living without it for a week, buying a replacement etc, and WeMoto have made plenty of notes about the problem. They've also said Electrex don't normally have faults with their parts but are good about solving problems that do arise

    Anyway, fingers crossed

    Good news - I've received a full refund of the cost of the part, plus the postage charge for the new one :disco:
