the easiest way to check if the stator is gone is by taking a volt meter (dc) hook to the battery it should show at least 12.7 volts fully charged. start bike with meter still hooked volts should go up when you give it throttle. up to about 14.5 max. if meter volts don't change your stator is shot if it jumps to around 18-19 volts your regulator is shot. this is the quick way to check your charging system

To test your stator, unplug the regulator from the socket. With a meter set on AC above 100 volts, insert the probes into the stator socket. Start the bike. When you give the bike throttle you should see AC current about 16 to 20 volts per 1000 RPM. You should see about 32 to 40 volts @ 2000rpm. Anything below that, and your stator is faulty.

To test for a bad regulator, unplug the regulator from the stator.

With a test light, make sure you connect the ground well on the test light and touch each pin on the regulator. If the test light lights at all, your regulator is bad.

If you test from the battery terminals, you are checking the whole system. With the meter switched to DC above 20 volts, apply the positive and negative probes to the positive and negative probes on the battery with the battery cables attached. Have a friend start the bike and slowly apply throttle. At idle you should have at least 13 volts. This output should increase as you rev the bike up to about 14.7 volts. It should never exceed 14.7 volts. If the voltage does not rise with throttle, your regulator or stator could be bad which is why you want to perform the test I listed, as listed. If the voltage rises above 14.7 volts the regulator is definitely At Fault.

The regulators on these bikes are notorious for going bad. The regulator and rectifier circuit are housed in the same unit.

How do you test a motorcycle stator?

To test a motorcycle stator, first, disconnect it from the motorcycle's electrical system. Use a multimeter to check the resistance between the stator's terminals; it should match the manufacturer's specifications. Next, test for shorts by measuring the resistance between each terminal and the stator's ground; there should be no continuity. Finally, perform a voltage output test by starting the engine and measuring AC voltage at the stator terminals; it should produce voltage within the specified range when revved.

How do you test a stator on a skidoo?

To test a stator on a Ski-Doo, first, disconnect the electrical connectors and use a multimeter to measure the resistance between the stator's windings. Check for continuity between the windings and ensure there's no short to ground by measuring resistance from the windings to the stator case. Additionally, you can test the output voltage by starting the engine and measuring the AC voltage at the stator's output wires, comparing it to the manufacturer’s specifications. If the readings are outside the specified range, the stator may need replacement.


How do you test an outboard motor stator?

To test an outboard motor stator, first disconnect the stator from the wiring harness and use a multimeter to check the resistance between the stator's output terminals; refer to the manufacturer's specifications for the correct resistance values. Next, inspect for any signs of physical damage or corrosion. Additionally, test for continuity between the stator coils and the ground to ensure there are no short circuits. If any readings are outside the specified range or if there is continuity to ground, the stator may need to be replaced.

How do you test a Polaris stator?

To test a Polaris stator, first disconnect the stator from the wiring harness and use a multimeter set to the ohms setting. Measure the resistance between the stator's terminals according to the specifications in the service manual; typically, you should see a specific resistance range depending on the model. Next, check for any shorts to ground by testing each terminal to the stator housing; there should be no continuity. If the readings are outside the specified ranges or if there’s continuity to ground, the stator may be faulty and should be replaced.


Why does the battery keep going dead even after buying a new battery and stator for a 1998 Harley Springer?

How do you check the Stator on a FXSTC 1999?

To check the stator on a 1999 Harley-Davidson FXSTC, first disconnect the battery to ensure safety. Remove the primary cover and inspect the stator for any visible damage or burnt areas. Use a multimeter to test the stator's resistance by checking the ohms across the stator terminals; refer to the service manual for the specific resistance values. Additionally, check for AC voltage output by connecting the multimeter to the stator terminals while the engine is running; this should yield a specific voltage range if the stator is functioning properly.
