stator

Would anyone happen to have a stator for an 1977 honda xl 250?

[hardrockminer]

I have a couple for Z1's if they are the same.

Thanks but I think these stators are specific for an xl 250

I know you do not want to hear this, buit a pair or stator coils for a '77 XL250 just sold on Ebay....in Powell River....on Saturday.

I sifted thru my stuff, but no XL stuff.

Do people still have these re-wound ? I had one done many years ago.

Getting very hard to find anyone with that skill any more. I used to do some but don’t even keep a supply of varnished wire around to do this with. Just too hard to obtain then very labour intensive work.  Nobody wants to pay someone to do anything with their hands any more.

Ps sorry Paul but I don’t have any class stuff any more not for a couple of years now

Maybe these guys could rewind your old one it might be worth a call.

Yeah, they may be some help.  I was going to mention them, but did not see any XL250 parts mentioned on their site.

Saw some options on eBay. You will need the original part number as there seems to be a variety but prices were reasonable it seems mostly out of China but it will get you going ther was a company called Bruce&Shark that quoted in cad and free shipping too

  Got one from Wolfgang. Looks like Japanese Shindegan from a distance, but it’s China.
  Gonna check with this guy, only deals with new Guaranteed Shindegan, and the latest  Mofset technology’.

I rewound my own once (for a KZ1300).  The local electric motor rebuild shop didn't want to do it, but they gave me the wire for free and even dipped and baked it for me when it was done.  I simply unwound the wire, counting the number of turns, then wound on the new wire.  Aside from being hard on the fingers, it wasn't difficult and worked like a charm.

  I ordered a complete ‘super kit’ which includes new Shindegen with MOSFET  technology, and all hookups for ‘almost’ plug and play. The unit easily deals with 450 watt stator, so my 35 yr old 240 watt unit is an easy game.

  Picked up the new super MOSFET reg/rec kit today, a day before Canada Border services goes on strike. US Customs guy was super interested in what bike this was for, tried his darndest to say 'Laverda' in his Texas drawl. Asked why I like lining up at long lineups [2 cars] then grinned. Wished me luck with the bike. So glad to have a US shipping address the last 27 yrs, $9 delivery, $3 mailbox fee, no cross border brokerage BS and stupid fees. $172 US for the complete kit, dude at the Cdn Nexus booth smiled and waved "have a great day". Gasoline for the truck at $3.45 us gallon, [$1.26cdn] the best reuben sandwich in the entire pacific northwest in downtown Lynden,,,,,completely empty roads sprinkled with very courteous drivers that actually use their turn signals and stop at stop signs,,,,,,,,,unlike this 3rd word insanity we seem to be fermenting here. I got to start riding down there more again.

   Now I will enter into my weakest technical skill, wiring.

  The new Shindegen MOSFET reg/rec is a substantial devise size wise. It actually is going to take a bit of thought to install the unit on the Laverda, there isn't alot of space to install it. I'll probably need to make an aluminium plate and hang it from the rear section somewhere. So,,,,as a means to running this machine this season, I took another look at the unit Wolfgang sent me. It does fit in the original location of the previous reg/rec, and the wires do make sense if you are not intimidated by electrical wires like I am. It only took 20 minutes to install it. I fired up the engine with multimeter on the battery, and recorded the voltage of the battery at the below rates, all with headlights on:

 1100 rpm - 12.2 volts
 1500 rpm - 13.6 volts
 2500 rpm - 14.1 volts
 3500 rpm - 13.6 volts

  It's interesting that the reg/rec is allowing input into the battery with a blip high, then regulates down as the rpm goes into /cruising rpm.

 I'll be checking this reglarlyto see that my installation stays connected, and that the devise does not prematurely 'delete' itself.

Steve, I found a piece of alloy to mount your new regulator. 6”x3”x1/4” thick. Will that do, if so I will bring it to coffee next Wednesday.
