99 R1 stator plug toast?

[skatefreak]

Plug from stator to rev on 99 R1 is crispy/burnt/falling apart (literally).
Stator shows correct resistance so plan to solder the cables together and do away with the plug for now (needs new wire soldering on to reach anywho..).
Is there a specific order these wires need to be connected? They’re all white ffs? Lol.

Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

Jeez that reg (not rev) must have been red hot, connect the 3 white wires in any order.
Find out why it happened and what other damage has been done.

Thanks for the input.

I suspect it was corrosion on the contacts causing the heat buildup.

Testing the stator shows the correct resistance, regulator wires look absolutely fine.

There is cooked plastic on the spade connectors so I'm fairly confident this would be the cause.

Just struggling to find some cable thick enough also due to the high temps the wire has been cooked/contaminated and solder won't flow.

Just going to have to cut back further into the loom I guess

You should have got the '98 R1, stuff of legends.

98 and 99 are pretty much the same machine.

00 was the next major revision and I may get a chance to play on an 04.
I won't lie, I prefer the looks of the later models and I doubt the extra 30 bhp wouldn't be appreciated but I'm curious to see what the power delivery is like and what all the fuss is about...

The 99 is a wheelie machine, although not such a good thing on bumpy country lanes without a steering damper

They all feed from the stator, no specific order.

Just go back until you see shiny metal and clean it all up.

Any clues on what gauge cable I should be looking for?
It looks like standard 240v/13 amp is a little thinner than the cables to be joined...
Would halfrauds 12v/27amp be overkill?

14 AWG recommended so I will massively over-spec with 27amp cable then (plus it's the same price).

Insurance runs out tomorrow, not renewing due to winter & new baby due soon :-\.

Will solder it up this arvo and hopefully get out for one last hoon, also hopefully confirm I've solved the mystery rattle (tightening up the Exup valve cable, there was a fair amount of play...).

Mucho's gracious

[skatefreak]

Fair play...
Just some feed back, soldered the stator cables and getting a solid 14.5v @ 5k. Took it out for an hour and all seems to be good

This could be a result of heavy oxidation of the contacts (the white stuff), I have seen this before.

Yes, 1999 was a long time ago and unless you've cleaned all the electrical plugs (the critical ones being the stator, reg/rec and the fuse box and battery terminals) it was only a matter of time, when the oxidation build up would cause issues.

Keeping things clean and well lubricated is the key for longevity.

Check the big one behind the infill panel on left hand side. That is a fucker.
