Stator blown at 23K?

[Tripps]

Rick's are supposed to be the good ones, from my reading, I think there's another company, Electrosports, or Electroworks, or something similar, that are not so good.

DeCosse is the man, you could chat him up at the rat.net site.

Thanks Tripp...appreciate it! I have a very short riding season and my dealer is telling me he cant get a stator from triumph for over 2 weeks!

The Triumph ones are also, er, not so good, it seems.

Stator will show good AC output 15VAC at idle 40VAC@2500 on a meter even though it is internally grounded.
The procedures outlined in the service manual never test for grounded stator which blows regulator diodes.
Do I REALLY need to pull the motor again to replace that POS ?

If stator is measuring low resistance (short) to ground, then the windings are burned and the stator must be replaced.
You CAN discern the difference in voltage between the phases, however the simple test is the short which is a conclusive indication the stator is toast (literally and figuratively)
It's got nothing to do with " blowing regulator diodes", which that stator failure would actually be unlikely to do.
A bad stator cannot cause an R/R failure - to the contrary, if the stator is not producing enough voltage, the diodes and shunts will actually conduct less current, so won't cause it to fail.
The flip side is that a shorted R/R WILL ultimately cause a stator failure, as it is presenting a hard short across the windings.
So stator runs even hotter than 'normal' and burns out.
Stator or R/R can fail independently without necessarily causing the other to fail; but if an R/R is bad, if left unchecked, it will ultimately burn out the stator.

See my post in your other thread regarding trying a Series type R/R - Bad Voltage Regulator ...OR? | R3Owners

So, I started having a charging issue and after 2 replaced regulators, it has been determined that the stator has **** the bed. My question is, is there an upgraded stator to the Triumph OEM? Seems I've has a lot of electrical problems with this bike and would like to find heavier duty than the POSs that come from Triumph. Lately, I've really started to second guess my purchase, that's for sure.

did you let the smoke out?
