Swifty not all that Ob-1 says is the reason your stator looks the way it does after pulling my first one out of the blonde looking pretty much like yours does now I asked my dealer and he said it's because the bike idled alot and rode at slow speeds alot the bike did alot of 25 mph riding on the base my second looked nothing like that 40k later all highway miles.Make sure the oil hole in the center of the magnet assembly is open
