Hi, I replaced the stator in an 07 Venture MP. From what I recall, my frame looked a bit different than what your picture shows. In my case, i had to pull the whole front end off the sled to get at some of the bolts. That included steering rods and coolant hose. And then I had to bring the...

Yep, I was reading that thread last night. I'm tracking down the parts today. More just for the fun as I've never had any overhead problems yet. But like you, it just makes sense to know what temperature its really running at.

I do have a couple follow up questions though. A fair amount of coolant leaked out. I had to leave it all apart for almost a month while parts were getting shipped, and there was a slow drip/leak from the pump. I assume that is normal as there was no leak before, and no leak now that its all...

Done and Done. New stator installed. Voltages all read properly. Battery is now charging with the headlights and all other electronics on. I replaced a number of steering parts too to tighten things up. As recommended, I put a new starter in while I was in there. I opened the old on up and it...

Ya, I didn' t know what to expect. Thanks again for all your help, and everyone else too! I've posted on some other sites over the years and never get much feedback. You mentioned the starter as well... I can see why it is buried under the engine block. You suggest buying a "rebuild kit"...

So maybe a few more than three bolts... but that is impressive how easy it is to pull the front off. It really opens things up. So... the stator is clearly in rough shape. New one on order. Stator by darren_t_johnson posted Oct 29, 2020 at 9:57 PM

hmm, maybe I will remove it. Looks like three bolts on each side, the steering rode and the head light cable... and the front should pop off? I haven't checked the service manual to see if it explain how to remove it. I've got one bolt left on the water pump, and there is one stator cover...

Yep, that is a good post. Hey even pulled off the pump without draining the system. Hopefully I won't need to pull the whole front end off... but maybe that is easier than it looks. Thanks!

Is anyone familiar with this specific sled? Just want to make sure i'm going about this the right way. I've drained the oil and removed the tank to make room to work. And now from the service manual and from what I can see from poking around in there, it looks like I need to drain the coolant...

Thanks everyone! Learned a lot so far. I'll be picking away at this hopefully over the next few days. Roger that on the Yamaha stator. I wasn't planning on cheaping out on that part. The savings are not very large, especially giving the savings of changing it out myself.

Hi Mooseman, what do you mean by "check the ground wire plug near the battery"? You mean check for loose connections in that area causing a poor ground in one of the circuits? From the test in that video, i agree, my regulator sounds OK. I don't think you need to go digging for old parts...

Thanks maim 4-6 hours isn't too bad, i'll plan for 6+. I know it will all depend on what I see when I get in there, but it is typically just the stator coil (ie 8GC-81410-00) that would need to be replace? Would the rotar or anything else typically need replacing? Anyone have any thoughts on...

i've also just been reading on how a regulator/rectifier with some blown diodes could also result in less DC power being produced. I've followed some test instructions for the diodes, and from one lead i read 445, 445, 445 and from the other lead I read 103, 103, 101 (i forget which reading was...

Yep. Its been done. From the bulletin, it doesn't look like my model is supposed to be affected. Or maybe the bulletin was updated later to include my model. Regardless, I checked and the update has been done.

Thanks Contact, That does make sense. I seem to get "good" voltage everywhere, but not enough wattage (ie, if something draws more amps, there just isn't enough there). Is there a way to test/confirm that? All three lines coming from the stator appear to be grounded. I assume that is normal...

Hi, I picked up an 08 Venture MP. I don't know anything about its history. But I took it out for the first time, and after a few hours of riding during the day and night, the next morning the battery was dead. So I did some digging. If I leave my two headlights disconnected, everything seems...

I know this is a really old thread, but I've be been looking all over for similar problem. I think I might have the same problem as Nordik and nhrxrider? If I disconnect both of my headlights, my battery reads 14+, so its charging well. If I connect only one of my headlights (my sled has...
