Hi guys

My bike is in need of a new stator (part of the charging system, similar to an alternator), the old one has burned out. I know it's not a Skyline, but I also know plenty of people on here ride bikes and/or have contacts with workshops and the like :wave: The bike is a 2001 Honda CBR929RR.

I'm getting pretty frustrated, most of the shops I've spoken to refuse point-blank to come down on price, RRP is $640 apparently and even the shop I bought the bike from will only go to $610 through our trade account :wave: I've also investigated having the old one re-wound, but I'd prefer not to be forced to send the unit to Victoria and wait 2 weeks + for it.

So.... what I'm wondering is, does anyone have any ideas or contacts you'd be happy for me to use, to either get hold of a new stator for a more reasonable price, or for someone fairly local to Brisbane who can re-wind it?

Cheers

Marc

Thanks for the reply Dan, and thanks to those who have PM'd. In response to your query Dan, I'm not sure what brand the stator is as I'm not with the bike atm, I'll check next time I'm at the workshop. And yes, $30 discount is crap.

Most of the more local guys I managed to get a hold of said that they weren't able to rewind my stator for technical reasons, to do with the type of wire or that part of the ignition is wired into the internal loom or something (I didn't really catch it), but referred me to various people. From all the ringing around it appears that there are only half a dozen or so people in the country that actually CAN do the work, and one in particular has come highly recommended and after having a chat to them, they'll be getting the work.

If I'm happy with their work (and I'm confident I will be) I'll post their details later :blink:

Not willing to get it from a wreckers as there's no guarantees that it's any better than the one I have, and in this case I'm adamant that I only want to do it once (I've ridden it once in around two years :bunny: ). I'll give Triple M a call and see what they say, they might have trouble matching the rewound item though :banana:

my dad used to be a motor rewinder. i can ask for you and find some suggested places. i have no idea on price. pm later if you still want to know. cya

Im an apprentice rewinder. I live in the cbd so if you like you can drop it around and i can take it to work and see what the boys think and rewind it for you.

pm me for my details.

    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
