5bikes Posted July 20, 2008 Share #1 Posted July 20, 2008 Hope this is the right place to post. Bought a complete (all parts and instructions intact) OEM Yamaha stator cooling kit off Ebay to install on my 84. Got it apart to find it was already there. Lots cheaper than a new stator and easy to install. 1 hour. $25 + shipping $7 chuckfrench48@gmail.com or 915-594-4083 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Condor Posted July 20, 2008 Share #3 Posted July 20, 2008 Never heard of such a thing. This is a fix to cure the stator overheating problem in the '83.'s & '84's. I don't know if it was a recall or just something Yamaha came up with to appease the customer, but if it were a recall most '83's probably have already had it done. Still not a bad idea to have a kit around just because. Tuff to find when you need one right away... And, if I didn't already have one in my stash, I'd have bought this one.. Cheap insurance.

It was a tech bulletin item with a new stator also installed. It was performed, as a warranty fix, no matter if bike was still under warranty or not. All bikes in affected year(s), was to be done.

If an affected bike has not been done, try it, nothing really to lose, cost wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet if I walked into my local dealer with the VIN# and asked him to look up the factory fixes that have been done to the '83 I'd get a 'YOU WANT WHAT???'

I had no problem getting a printout on mine, only took a couple of minute at the service desk...... Yeah they would probably laugh, at a free fix, but the bike most likely had it done, as well as brake pads changed under warranty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6m459 Posted July 22, 2008 Share #12 Posted July 22, 2008 Hi, Do you have a picture you could post (Or can you tell me the ebay auction number you got it on so I can have a look at the ebay picture?) so I can see if it is what I think it is ? Thanks, Brian H. Uxbridge Ont Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you paid that much for I think you got robbed. I bought the NOS kit a few years ago on e-bay with a buy it now price of 10.00 and 3.00 shipping. They may have become scarcer now so the price could have went up. I think the resell on e-bay is the best idea. Dick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
