Rewinding stator; metric size of copper wire?


Recommended Posts

I'm considering rewining my stator since it does not seem too complicated. I have examined a XZ550 (Vision) stator that have the same number of coils (18) but is smaller. The copper wire has a diameter of 1.1 mm. Does the XVZ have the same wire size?

 

Here in Europe I can't find high output stators. Probably because the XVZ did not sell in great number here. In UK the Electex company sells replacement stators for 90 £ (140 $) including VAT:

They also have RR that seems up to date;

I have read about the cooling kit but it's perhaps a bit overkill here in Sweden (not being so very hot...)?

So back to my first question; the size of the copper wire on the oem stator, please!

The reason for the cooling kit modifications, was to ensure the stator was 100% covered in oil, to prevent overheating above oil temp. Some of the early 83's had part of the startor uncovered, and burned up the copper coils as they overheated. Your 84 should have the kit from the factory.
