Poor poor husqy. 2011 te449 needs new stator (I think)

[Big Timmy]

I don't know if thats possible to separate the wires and recoat them with the clear epoxy. If they have been shorting out at this point but I don't do that kind of work so, you should check with someone who really does or someone whom is not just speculating that doing that is possible. If it has shorted out and it's gotten hot enough to discolor the wiring I would think more damage is done than just what looks visual to the naked eye. Who knows?

If you can't get it rewound or repaired by doing the above the cheapest price is buying one for the BMW G450X at BikeBandit. I can assure you they are the same and they are $332.20 for the 165watt generator. The BikeBandit part number is 2691697. I know they are the same because I have both engines. Even the 2 plugs for the stator and the CDI pickup are the same as the Huskys. Wiring colors as well. Bike Bandit lists an A and a B version on there fishe but the part numbers are the same for both.

If you insist on keeping it all Husky and it can't be rewound somewhere nearby where you live and I'm sure you could find someone to do that. Then go ahead and get it from Halls for the $414.50 cents.

It's suggested retail list price at Bike Bandit though is $365.42 so keep that in mind when pricing from your favorite Husky dealers when buying engine parts. I have a google document spread sheet of cost comparisons between Husky dealers and BMW dealers for the exact same parts, and everything else you could imagine thats engine related, that was recently put together by a member having his G450X overhauled by ZipTY racing right now and if you'de like to see it. You can look it up at G450 riders on the BMW riders forum.

Bike Bandits sale prices are usually about 10% less than the dealers for this kind of OEM stuff and they usually ship for free, anything over $100.00. Maybe not to Canada, though but they have sales at times that all OEM parts are like 10 % off for a weekend. Still though is $332.20. is alot better for a new one than $414.50.

Let us know what you are able to actually do. Did you see the picture I posted of BiGDoMs stator?? Timmy

Carb cleaner, seperate the charred wires SLIGHTLY THIS IS FOR TWO PURPOSES: 1) to be sure that they are intact and not completely annealed to where they are brittle and snap. If they snap they are already annealed to the point of no return (obviously) 2) to seperate the short which is causing the issue, then I would clean everything off and where it shorted, carb cleaner, scrape all of the charred off/sand it/ anything to clean it.


Dip it in this;

and bake it.


It will work, or it wont. It wont work if the short is actually down low in the support and then it got that one wire hot enough to THEN short to the other one next to it. BUT to me it looks like they vibrated/rubbed through the enamel and was a direct short between the 2 wires.


Hope that is helpful for you.

Did you find out what was going on, buy new, or look into rewinding the stator. My Buddy BiG DoM just got his back and was rewound and is ready for install on his G450X. He'll be checking in here probably momentarily.

Hey all so I sent off the original stator to a place in Quebec called 'RM Stator' they seem quite promising and at a price of $170 dollars (plus $15 to ship there and hopefully $15 to ship back) I'm quite hopefull. His words over email were that he could fix it (after I emailed him a picture) and could make it better than stock without any over kill. *mind the French accent*

I also work at a Powersports store so one of the KTM techs have me the DL on putting it back in and what not.

So all in all (SO FAR) the repair, all said and done with cost be about $220 where as the next setup would be $450 (shipping and taxes and duties)

On a lighter note here are some pics of my baby. I'm a little cheap and very picky so I went and ordered a blank factory effex royal blue decal sheet and custom cut and applied my own graphics

Furthermore I mounted a set of DOT 'penny LED' flashers on the rear. Little cutting and hole making with some all purpose silicone epoxy I am also quite happy about thoughs.

The final pic is a before the rest are afters

As well as I have had a lot of extra time that could have been riding spent on painting my calipers with a high heat caliper paint and clear gloss over coat. (Then cooked them with a blow dryer)

I didn't want to remove the hydraulic fluids to bake them in the oven so the blower drier seemed to work just fine

Ooooo as well as I order a universal sheet of blue 'all-grip' seat cover from factory effex with intentions of incorporating the old black seat cover and taking it to a seamstress to make a mixture of blue and black, cut and sew them together to make a factory ribbed base of alternating blue and black. I am quite excited for this

Hahahah the wrench sticking out of the exhaust was a weight to hold tension on fishing wire that I used to hold the light in securely while the silicone dried

And here's a pic of the fried coil

Yes as Tim has mentioned I had the identical stator problem on my G450X - had it rewired and it is back better than new with better quality wiring etc. Check my pic - virtually identical! I also first just checked it out from the top without pulling it out and was going round the bend trying to find out why my bike was pulling the battery down and leaving me stranded!! I would seriously NOT try and do a DIY fix on this = you do not want it going South again in the middle of nowhere (and I say this as one who loves to fix and modify things!)

I only saw this thread after Tim alerted me - I also have a TE610 so spend most of my CH time that side

 

[BiG DoM]

Jordan - I have just had another look at this pic and yours and am thinking that the failure is due to the wires in this area sitting proud and contacting the side cover (or the coverplate that covers the yellow wires although I think it is short enough not to touch that spot) ... there is also a casting support rib right there at this spot. I have bolted mine back in with Locktite so do not want to take it out again to look. I think over time with heat and vibration it worked through the insulation and created the short circuit. Have a look when you replace yours.

I had the same thing happen to my 2011 te449,had stator rewound down at west country windings which unfortunately for you is in the UK,surely there must be somewhere near you that can do a rewind??

Oops,just noticed your earlier post
