Maintenance & Technical > KX500 Original
she wont rev out...
Grunty-Motor:
believe it or not......I am still here
finally got back to working on this bike. had the crank cases split and fixed a dislodged circlip in the gear box (that was why it was engaging a gear when otherwise in neutral and leaning to the left). Crank seals and mains replaced but they were in pretty good nick so my problem isnt them.
While i await gaskets for the re-build i checked the stator again. It appears i have a '99 stator on my 98 bike due to the colour of the wires. but now, there is no reading black/white to black yellow. So i am thinking that the stator winding was on the way out and has now finally failed. Now i just need to try and find one in the UK
Can anyone confirm that this is a 1990 Stator?
How do i check the CDI is correct (other than the wire colours match?)
sandblaster:
What bike is the stator suppose to be for?
Originally this topic was for a 89 kx500.
That stator does not appear to be a kx500 from 86-04.
Grunty-Motor:
hi, from the engine number, my bike is an 1989 model, E1.
but looking at the Clymer manual, the colour coding for the wires does not match the 89 model. It does match the 1990 model.
black/white & black/yellow & white/red
**** OOOPS - i noticed in my last post i say 98 and 99 - i meant 89 and 90!!! ****
Grunty-Motor:
After endless searching i am even more confused than when i started!!! What i think i have found is......
Very early (86 and below) have 6wires from the CDI and one is white / green
Middle 87-91 had 5wires and no white/green (but some had 1 coil and some had 2)
Late 91 on had 5wires and no white/green but different size flywheel
This is a link for an early one

this is a link for a 89-91 version but has 4 wires to the plate and mine only has 3 wires!!!

They both look the same so may be an e-bay mistake - Plus, there is no pick up on the plate???
Still no idea what i have.....Grrrrr
don46:
The older Stators and flywheels were smaller than the newer units, just from memory I would say the newer is close to 5" and the older is like 4" in diameter
older stators 88 and older had 4 wires from the stator: black/red, white/green, white/red, and black/yellow
newer stators 89 and newer had 3 wires: white/red, black/yellow, and black/white
