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 harness to wire it back up. I’ve decided I want to go the PMA route, and get rid of the stator all together, as it would cost damn near the same to do either. This will solve my charging issues. However, it won’t solve my wiring issue. I’ve looked at wiring harnesses, new and used, and just don’t really know what to do here. Thought about making my own harness and re-wiring the whole bike, but even that seems like a bad idea on my part. What should I do?? Also, any recommendations on which pma to get? Was thinking of just doing the one from TC Bro’s.
Unfortunately, money is also a factor in this. I’m a college student who doesn’t have a lot of money so any chances to save are appreciated. TIA
