Rock on Ken! How much was the Ricky Stator?

I always have bracket mount too if that is what you want.

Got some video of my test ride after putting the new Ricky Stator in.

Man it feels good to ride again.

HEEELLLLLLLLLL YEA! That's what I like to see! Someone that ain't afraid to go out and beat on their bike! You're literally 1 of 2 or 3 people that I've ever seen actually run out a 500. THANK YOU! Lol. Glad you got her squared away! Love watching you out ripping on this thing

Buckeye513 · « **Reply #104 on:** April 20, 2014, 02:33:34 am »

Good **** Ken! Looks like you have some fun open spaces by the homestead to rip it around! Can't wait to get my gopro mounted and get into this house so I can start keeping my bike in my own garage so if I wanna take a quick spin I can. Jealous of you man!

ken500r · « **Reply #105 on:** April 20, 2014, 06:01:59 am »

Thanks gays Chuckie I don't really like to keep the zilla wide open like that all the time but I couldn't resist that abandoned road I planed on swapping out the sprockets just for that road until I looked at the front tires on that run it's pretty scary when you see how big the tires get at that speed there was actually a gap between the tire and the rim

Buckeye nothing to be jealous about it's not my property. LOL I wish that was my property.

Nice video ken.Sounds good!

Chuckie25 · « **Reply #107 on:** April 20, 2014, 07:17:17 am »

I just meant its nice to see someone run the hell out of a zilla, didn't mean just for that full long road rip lol

And yea it's crazy how much tires will swell! When it snowed and we went out and rode the streets it was all iced over and my 20x10 holeshots turned into like 23x8's lol

Cool.video.

Looks like your riding area is a deserted zombie apocalyptic walking dead episode! Killer!!

Cool video -

Will your Zilla idle? Do you have to keep reving it so it wont load up? It sounds rich off the bottom and coming onto the needle.

I'm wondering the same thing as Rider 414. Awesome thread and yes, it's rare to see a video of someone actually stretching the legs on a 500. Thanks for sharing!!

ken500r · « **Reply #111 on:** April 25, 2014, 10:53:27 pm »

Yes the quad idles good. It did feel and sound like it was running a little rich I think it had something to do with the seven month old gas in it and i could use a new air filter.

Beerside · « **Reply #112 on:** April 26, 2014, 12:20:20 am »

I had to watch that video again, I love it. But I got to ask, do you live near the Chernobyl Nuclear plant in the USSR? Or is this the place where they filmed the Blair Witch Project? Looks like an abandoned city with half completed highways that go nowhere. I imagine that's what the world will look like when me and my 'zilla are the last ones left. hahahaha

Cheers from anutha 'zilla from San Diego

Stator number 2 took a **** on me. WTF is going on with these stators? Ricks stator lasted about 30 hours and the Ricky stator lasted about an hour and a half this is getting to be very frustrating.

Dezsled · « **Reply #114 on:** June 09, 2014, 05:47:40 pm »

Can you determine what's going out on those stators? The ignition coil, the pick up, etc. easily visible? Pic?

Sounds like you may be another victim of these high quality Chinese stators

If it's the coils, I'd keep the OEM stator and put on the Ricky stator 120W coils and make sure it's all set up right & tight.

This has worked good for me so far.

Buckeye513 · « **Reply #117 on:** June 10, 2014, 07:39:38 am »

Could something else being bad in the electrical system be causing these to fail? And u agree with Dez what's actually failed? Might help narrow down what's causing the failure.

ken500r · « **Reply #118 on:** June 13, 2014, 09:57:54 am »

Well i finally got around to taking it apart

I have been riding dirt bikes and quads for over 28 year now and never seen anything like this. Wait until you guys see this ****. I will post some pictures in a little while.

ken500r · « **Reply #119 on:** June 13, 2014, 01:17:32 pm »

Heres some pics

ken500r · « **Reply #120 on:** June 13, 2014, 01:48:07 pm »

Some more pics. http://s1316.photobucket.com/user/kenlakatos/slideshow/Lt500r%20Stator

Mitch Keller · « **Reply #121 on:** June 13, 2014, 01:59:14 pm »

OK Im offically blown away, I have never seen anything like that.

Dezsled · « **Reply #122 on:** June 13, 2014, 04:17:35 pm »

What does the backing plate look like?

Man catastrophic failure for sure

Buckeye513 · « **Reply #123 on:** June 14, 2014, 08:15:09 am »

Looks to me like your fly wheel or crank may have been impacting the stator and that's what caused this not the actual stator itself failing. That's bad man you have no play in your crank right? And that is a 500 flywheel correct? Maybe it was a clearance thing with the Ricky stator being to big or something. I have a stock stator I can sell you for $50 plus the ride if you wanna try to go back to stock and see what happens.

ken500r · « **Reply #124 on:** June 14, 2014, 09:24:39 am »

Thanks for the offer Buckeye but Ricky Stator is sending me a new stator now and they said they had a used flywheel in good shape they're sending me too there is no play in the crank it looks like somebody forgot to tighten the screws on the coils all the screws backed out they didn't brake off. I think i'm going to buy a new flywheel anyway. What do you guy's think about lightening the flywheel on the LT500R ?
