    Pma conversion, and wiring problems

    As well, not that it really matters, the mechanical aspect of this bike isn’t a problem to me. I’ve rebuild motors and done all sorts of mechanical jobs, it’s just the siding I’ve never played with. Where do I find the forums about testing rotor/stator? This is the part I’m getting caught up on...

    Pma conversion, and wiring problems

    Agreed on all parts with the previous comments. I should be learning how to do this. It’s not that I’m unwilling or don’t care to “listen and learn” it’s that I don’t know what to do and I’m seeking advice. I haven’t discredited anyone nor have I said I wasn’t willing to try myself. I know...

    Pma conversion, and wiring problems

    Good point about the pma. Really insightful. The issue is that the charging system has failed, and I was told by a mechanic- take this how you like- that the stator has burned out, and took some of the wiring along with it. On top of the, the issue with the wring is that it is a complete mess...

    Pma conversion, and wiring problems

    To 650Skull, Yes I agree. I should have tested it myself to figure it out. Not wrong at all there. However, my time is pretty limited, and I am not good with electrical by any means. You’re probably right that it’s just a rotor, but would I be hurting anything anyways by just converting to a...

    Wanted - Pma conversion and wiring harness

    Hello all, Currently building my XS650 cafe racer and looking to do a pma conversion. Previous owner had some crackhead wiring on the bike, the stator burned out, and took some of the wiring with it. I’m a college student so money is a little tight, but I’m looking for a pma, and wiring for my...

    Pma conversion, and wiring problems

    Hello all, I previously made a post about my 81xs a few months ago, and talked about the charging issues I had. I took it to a mechanic to have it diagnosed, and was told that the stator went bad, and shorted out the wiring. They told me that I could just get a new stator, and buy a used main...

    Stators

    I don't have the manual for it. That'll be the next thing I pick up. Any guesses as to what could be going wrong within the electrical system to stop it from charging? Brushes? Wiring? I have no idea where to start, other than testing.

    Stators

    I had an volt meter and tested the three wires coming into the stator, and didn't see anything as far as voltage even when the power was on. I'm new to this kind of charging system so and help on what to test and what to look for is greatly appreciated

    Stators

    Hello all, I recently picked up a new to me 81 Xs650. The only issue really is that the stator is bad on it, and I've been trying to figure out what to do. I looked on Mikesxs and saw they have stators, but realized a lot of the members here have had some bad histories with mikesxs. I'm looking...
