07 yamaha venture stator upgraded

[gamberch]

hey guys I have heard alot about upgrading the stock stator to a better one to produce more output. Has anyone to this to a dealer to have them install it and how much does it usally cost for something like that done

I don't believe you can get a higher output stator than the one you already have.

 

I don't know what a dealer would charge, but it won't be cheap. Changing the stator is a big job. Basically you have to take everything off the left side of the bike plus the seat and battery box. Probably a 4-6 hour job plus parts.

 

Technically, it's not a difficult job, just time consuming. My problem is that the older I get the less I want to wrench, especially on something with tight work clearances.

They are available from Buckeye performance and are rated about 55 amps. The stock ones are rated 30 amps, IIRC. http://www.buckeyeperformance.com/p24.htm

Some dealers may do the job, but I would either do it myself or take it to an independent shop to get it done. I haven't done it but I'm guessing it is probably a 4 hr job @ whatever the going shop rate is in your area.

skydoc_17 on this forum also sells an upgrade kit that includes the stator, gaskets, upgraded regulator/rectifier, and needed wiring.
