I have a 2001 stator that could be up for grabs that is in fantastic shape. Coil and CDI too. PM me if you are interested.

sandblaster:
Thanks DoldGuy.
I have recorded that info for future use  :lol:

--- Quote ---RD, Very curious as to what your Stator measures as I have had measurements taken on ALOT of these & as Pauly stated 9 out of 10 were out of range. My 2001 stator visually looks almost new but it measures @ 330 Ohms

Stator came from a 1990 K5 just measured it a few minutes ago with a Fluke 77 DVM

Black White to Black Yellow  181 ohms

White Red to Black Yellow 9.5 ohms

What year is your bike and what spec did you use.

1990. Used the same spec as Doldguy from the last page of the 1990/91 supplement to the K5 manual.

I finally got lucky . Usually everything  I take apart is out of spec or broken :-D

Yup, I have not checked my stator yet but will very soon.
On the gasket thing, it's old info from something I read somewhere that goes like this ( ". I would then go to the optional thick head gasket. This will reduce the compression and again reduce the hit in the powerband. You could take it a step further and put in an extra base gasket, this will again reduce compression slightly and raise the port timing, it will again slow or smooth the transition of power and give you some top end over rev. Next, I would chuck the stock pipe and buy a FMF Gnarly pipe. Before installing the pipe there is a crush ring that goes up into the cylinder...buy four of them and install them with the pipe. This is one of the best mods you can make to the bike. You'll have stronger power but it will be smoother and more controllable than you would ever believe!" )  SO after thinking about it...... I think I will be useing the standard head gasket since I will be tuning the carb and head to run U4.4  I don't want to mess with lowering the compression any. But I do think I agree with the double base gasket. I WILL be useing the stock pipe, BUT does any one get what he is doing with the 4 crush ring thing?? should I do that? If any one wants to read the whole thing I still have it on file as- Detuning a KX500 for trails. let me know if you are interested in reading the rest of it.

kaw rider:
if you are trail riding stay with pump gas or a pump gas mix with some high octane. U4.4 will empty your pocket fast.
