I have never heard of a stator preventing a motorcycle from starting. You need a professional, local, second opinion before you plunk down any bucks.

Unless that is, are you calling a magneto a stator? Does your motorcycle have a battery? If it has a battery, you probably do not have a magneto.

Cant go wrong with 30" inch

i always just put some on the o-ring before i put it back in but no you dont need to have oil on it,

depends on what material is stained.. Aluminium stains can be very tricky to get clean if not impossible...some cleaners will also cause a orange/reddish stain wich will not come out unless you use some harsh chemicals to get them out. problem is it's hard to get to those chemicals. IF you happen to have a truck wash nearby where they wash the big trucks (18 wheelers)take your parts there and tell them to use some brightener on it it's a chemical that really cleans aluminium.it may cost you a little bit of money but that stuff really works and i haven't been able to find that stuff for private sale anywhere. the number 2 reasons for stains on the bike are : 1) waiting to long to wash the bike some types of sand/mud especially the red dirt we have down south here will stain a bike if you leave it on the bike not only that it dries as hard as concrete and is very difficult to remove , so was your bike ASAP. 2) washing chemicals. Some chemicals / soaps when they are left too long on aluminium will leave stains as it reacts with the aluminium , these stains are almost impossible to get out. ,,,

you need a micrometere or vernier caliper to measure how thick they are that how you tell how worn the clutch is. the manual will list the specificational limit (how thin you should allow them to get and how do the basket and innser hub looks like). if they have small teeth on them they are worn.,

Most are spray mate but I have used chainsaw oil in the past its very good easy to clean off if it flings and I just used to put it on the chain with an old paint brush.,,,

and had the bike souped for it. Anyway the throttle is SUPER touchy.. You breath on it and it takes off.. Because of this I ended up dumpin it 30 min after I got on..haha... My question is is there a way to stiffen up the throttle so that i have to crank the grip harder to give it gas? I am very inexperienced, and when it took off, i tensed up, hittin the throttle even harder. I know i will appreciate the the responsiveness when I get more experience, but i dont want to die in the process..lol.. thanks for you help! ,UYou need to learn to hold on to the bike with your legs, so you aren't pulling on the bars during acceleraion. The throttles are supposed to be easy to turn, so that it will snap completely closed when you let off. You can replace the throttle cam (the part that the cable attaches to) with a slower-opening unit that will give you more control. The amount you have to turn the throttle from closed to full-open will stay thesame, but it will open slower in the first half of the throttle pull, keeping you from getting such an abrupt surge of power. Once you get a little more time on the bike, you won't have this issue any longer. You will learn proper throttle control, and your wrist will get used to the throttle pull. ,,,

You possibly need to clean the spark plug. Sometimes when pulling the spark plug wire off and laying it a quarter inch from the top of the spark plug will increase the spark and burn the plug clean. Then replace the wire.

The main fuse protects all power consumers of the vehicle. It is located in the starter relay housing under the air filter box lid. (A spare fuse is located in the starter relay) The fuse box containing the fuses of individual power consumers is located under the seat

Start by sticking the plug to a head bolt for a spark if that don't work the only way u can test it is with a different cdi

Its a long shot, but try Youtube. They have tons of DIY videos.

Is the battery fully charged.Get the battery voltage checked and confirmed. First check and make sure the starter works. You can use a jumper to bypass the solenoid and check that pretty easy. If the starter turns over when you bypass the solenoid then you'll need a meter to continue testing and find out why the solenoid isn't working. That could be wires, start button, connectors or a bad solenoid.---------Also check the electric start button, if the electric wire is getting short internally, then it can be the problem.A meter would check it, but a test light is all that you need. ---------- Listen carefully, do you hear solenoid click, when you apply electric start.You should hear the solenoid click.If there is no click, then its the cause.Either the solenoid is bad or it doesn´t get power. To check the latter, remove the left side cover, locate the starter solenoid and disconnect the trigger wire (the small one, not the big one coming from the battery).---------- Hook a multimeter between this wire and ground - with the ignition on and the switch in the run position you should see 12 V here when you push the start button (with the clutch pulled in). If you do, the problem is most likely the solenoid - make sure the other small wire is properly connected to ground.----------- But if you dont get 12 volt, then the electric start button connection needs to be checked.Check that you have 12 V on the side of the start-button that connects to the switch (with ignition on and switch in the run position), then check that you have 12 V on the other side of the start button with the button depressed. If you see 12 V on one side but not the other (button depressed) the problem is likely the start button itself.-------- This should help.Keep updated.Thanks.Helpmech.

gday there have you cleaned the earth lead and positive lead on the ones going to the battery if you have then have you checked that your new battery has charge in it between 13 to 14.2 volts as some batteries do not come charged or if it is a acid type battery it may not have acid in it ,you probably would have checked this already but just a thought my end ,if all is good there did you accidently put the terminals on wrong for a second if you made a mistake like that the fuse may have blown ,easy done,if not check with a multimeter from your battery back to your starter soliniod and if all good there then check back from that .hope this helps cheers

Sounds like you have the common problem of a plugged fuel pick up. You need to remove the fuel pump, pickup, and sender unit deep in the fuel tank. Its quite common for these bikes to come with a substanitial amount of junk in the tank. There are fuel pickup sceens available for the pickup that seem pretty good at preventing this problem form reoccuring. once you remove the pick up unit, clean the screen (usually plugged with plastic mold remnants. You may want to check the injector if it doesn't run 100% after reassembly. Injector fouling is rare nut not unheard of. Husaberg.org is a good forum for owners

1st thing to check is the fuel filter cloth in the bottom of the tank. These bikes came with plenty of crud in the tank that will clog the pick up filter bag in the tank. Once youve checked/fixed that... Check for wire chafing on the frame, its very subtle and difficult to notice. I found mine on the upper section under the rear section of the tank/airbox where it passes through the frame. Mine killed the coolant fan I added. Then I was blowing 10a fuses when I tried to start. After repairing the wiring, add a piece of fuel line or heater hose to prevent a reoccurring issue. Hope this helps
