!980 XS 650 not charging, Have run tests as per manual and am only getting 0.5 ohms across slip rings of rotor.
Where is best place to buy new or recon rotor.
Happy new year all.

You came to the right place. Jim rewinds these rotors and apparently does a great job. Might save a buck or two. I recon you will be hearing from him directly.

:agree::agree:
 
Shipping to and from England might be a deal breaker? :yikes:
 
There exists Rewinders but can be difficult to find
Replacements also

I have seen new ones ..but heard not the best quality.

I rewound at a company doing it for larger electric motors agricultural or so.
Not everyone takes on the job.
One way can be to ask around vintage motorcycle clubs and forums.
Must be some old timer in UK that does it.
 
I expect it's well worth the expense and the trouble. What is the option? Rewinders have likely gone the way of the cobblers (shoemakers).
Stop talking about cobblers. I'm trying to lose weight! But seriously, shipping likely would still be cheaper than converting to a Vape system.
