@Marcarl I thought so too!

Finally figured how to get clamp opened to get wires out! Was a real pain disconnecting tha small 2 wire plug that had to come out with Stator!

Got Stator cover 1 off and this is picture of Stator! Now to clean off gasket and then replace Stator!

Pictures of antifreeze being soaked up on bike table and one of dirty wires! Still trying to get them loose from clamp then I can pull them out to remove Stator! Had to pickup son's rototiller as he needs it for weekend if weather is good!

Yes it is getting exciting! Should have realized that the pressure behind the plug would want to go somewhere! Should have put the covers on until I had to put exhaust back on! Picked up tube of RTV and blue Lock Tite for the rubber plugs in Stator!(going to try and vacuum seal them after use as am hoping them to last without hardening as I don't use them enough)

Been busy all day today and finnaly went out to do some more work on bike and now I have to add putting Antifreeze in when I'm done with Stator! Took off engine fins off to remove exhaust and didn't put it back on and freeze plug fell out sometime and drained Antifreeze! Wiped up the mess,dried off tools and wiped down drain hoses that went thru frame so I have a little more room to try tomorrow to get wires out so I can get Stator out!

before and after cover2 and piece behind it

Came back in from garage around9pm after I took out overflow tank to get better access to wiring,pulled bolt holding wiring to drive-shaft housing but having hard time figuring how it is holding wires,saw pictures of this area but can't find it yet! Cleaned all crud off of Cover2 and scraped off old gasket. Cleaned some of the frame and wires ,also cleaned some of the oil pan also! Finally came in as back can't do long stints like I used to,even with bike on table about 24 to 30in off the ground! At least I'm not on the ground doing this! Have to take dog to groomers tomorrow so won't get much done tomorrow but will try to do what I can!

Got garage organized enough to have more than enough room and places to put parts on when dismantling what I need to take off! Punched holes in small box to hold bolts in order of disassembly! After taking farthest chrome part(half moon shaped) from cover2 looks like there was a small leak somewhere as there is a LOT of crud on it and everything under bike! Have oil drained,exhaust disconnected, all bolts except one each cover till ready to take off and also make sure all oil is drained then will try to clean all crud from oil pan,frame ,hoses and wires before I get too far!

Stator,Voltage Regulator and gasket dropped off by Purolator today ! Still organizing garage while working on sons lawnmower! Also got neighbors lawn cut as she is at new home and her old one is for sale! Probably start working on bike in a couple days!!

Last couple days getting around to cleaning and reorganizing garage for more access to work on bike on table lift. Too hard to lay on ground and get up every time I need something!(usually right after I get down) Newest email after reorder says sometime next week! Going to start getting bike ready today or tomorrow so I'll be able to fix when parts come in!

Got an e-mail last night about the parts I ordered! I was informed that the Stator I ordered was not available and DID NOT fit my bike like it said in the catalog so they gave me the right number for the one that does fit my bike! It will be $25 more! So now it will be next week before they arrive!
