2009 F650GS - Stator Issues

Postby willtdc » Tue Apr 19, 2016 1:59 pm

Hi! I've been a member of BMWBMW since March 2015, but am fairly new to the forum.

My 2009 F650GS has been mostly sitting under a tarp since September 2014 after I was told by Bob's that I'd need to get a new stator. Which estimated around $1200-1300. Ever since, I've pulled the battery out and charged it so I could go on short rides or when I needed to transport my bike from DC to Fairfax and then to Herndon when I moved. I found a work around on AVRider which was much cheaper and seemed to be the general fix for this issue that happens to 1 out of 3 bikes over 20,000 for my make and model.

Will need to purchase (based on the AVRider forum (http://advrider.com/index.php?threads/p ... 285/page-4) :

* A new stator via electrosport - http://www.electrosport.com/stator-bmw-f800-02-07.html
* A new R/R - http://roadstercycle.com/Roadstercycle% ... lators.htm

A few things:

1) Has anyone in this forum had a similar problem and used these parts to fix the problem?
2) I've never done any real heavy automotive work before, and wanted to know if there's someone available to work or help with this job?
3) The work around also calls for making a small mounting plate for the regulator, which I've also never done before.

Any assistance or being pointed in the right direction is greatly appreciated!!

Thanks!
