If the flywheels are the same on the  LT250 an LT500, then would it be safe to assume the stators are interchangeable also? I seen a oem LT250 stator for $60 on feebay

Not many places to have stators rewound any more. Ricky Stator used to, now just sells them rewound. Baja Designs only rewinds certain stators and LT250/500 they don't. I'd like to get mine rewound if anyone knows of a place that still does it
