Like I said in the last post you can check your stator with a ohm meter. Just call rick at
www.rickystator.com and he will tell you which wires to check and what the reading should be. He sells stators which are like a quarter the price you could get one from yamaha for. It should be the red/white wires check across those and the green/brown wires check across those. On my warrior I knew mine was bad because I got a 0 ohm reading on one of the tests.
