Part question

Hi guys,
I am having my bike fixed in Panama. The dealer is now saying that he needs a new part from the states -
STATOR P/N # 31120-MWZ-781
He says this part will cost 380 dollars US!!! I have been unable to find it on the web.

I am mechanically numb so can anyone tell me what this part is, what it does and how much it should cost?

I don't trust this guy. Any help would be great. Thanks in advance.

Trys,

Presumably you've got an electrical failure. Is the old one past repair - could it be repaired locally? You didn't say which bike it is?

Have a look at www.partsfish.com

Register, or if you like, use this account:
User name- dog@woof.com
Password - password

You then need to click 'add a vehicle' and select your bike.

Stator will prob. be listed under 'Left crankcase cover, generator'

Follow the parts list down at the bottom until you find stator. NB I just looked for an XL600-R, it's $307. NB if you click/hover over the 'add to cart' button, you will see the URL has the part number in it.

Hope this helps,

Ian
p.s. don't try mailing me at dog@woof.com!

Sounds a bit dubious? Once you've identified the part & what's actually wrong with it, left me know if you need a hand sourcing one in the UK.

Thanks lads,
I used partsfish and found the part for $316. It's for an XR650L. The dealer in Panama wants $380 for the part but will not charge me labour so It will work out OK.
Thanks again,
Trys

if you can find 18 guage magnet wire, you can re-wrap it your self and save about 300$
just keep track of direction and number of wraps, keep the connectors and find a electric motor winding shop too test and dip it for you when it's finished... (I find a case of at the back door will usually pay for it)

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive.
