Anybody know the price

of a stator assembly for an '84 VR? Mine went bad and the dealer here wants $340.00 for a new assy from Yamaha. I'm thinking it may be a little high but am not sure. Any ideas? Thanks!

You can get them new and newly rebuilt for less than that on eBay. You could also get yours rebuilt for less than that as well.

Here is one on eBay right now.

RWStator.com in Canada puts out a good product.

Whatever you do DONT buy anything from Electrosport in California. I have had nothing but problems with their products and customer service.

Brad,

I know you had some kind of problem with the stator you bought from them and I don't know all details but I have bought from these folks for years and they have been good to me and make a good heavy duty product.

One of the other people, JC Whitney or Dennis Kirk or one of those actually use the stator from these guys.

My nephew bought one from someone else and it was made of lighter materials then the Electrosport.

It's like everything else, tires, batteries, oil, everyone has an opinion.

I would be interested in what happen with the stator you were having built though.

I would go with Rick. Can't beat it for the heavy duty one and Rick knows his Ventures.

I can appreciate that you had good luck with them Jerry. I, on the other hand, had a disaster with them. My stator wasn't installed right in the side cover when it was returned and I had to redo it.

 

They didn't ship the regulator with the rest of the parts and then it was haphazardly tossed in a bubble envelope and sent to me. It arrived in non working condition and then the one that was sent to replace it died in less than 90 days and started to fry my wiring.

 

I had called them on several different occasions and have never had a responce back. Dray commented to me in a phone conversation that they didn't do right by the Delphi forum on the 1100 Vstars. Just way too many coincidences of bad workmanship and lousy customer relations for me not to warn folks. This is absolutely my opinion and I dont expect folks to take my word for anything. They will have to see what works best for themselves.

 

....Thanks for the rant, I needed that
