1vj: Oil in the sator housing- good or bad?
Another dumb question.
Xt600 1VJ not charging properly, and although puling like a train and showing a charge of 13.5v across the battery when running I am convinced she is not charging, or something is not right. I removed the left (port side) sator housing cover, and out came all the "engine blood" which I expected. But then I thought about it, surely there shouldnt be oil in the sator housing unit. Oil conducts electricity this would negate the effect of an alternator/magneto-sator electro magnet charger thinggy. Anyone, am I loosing the plot or is this to be expected? Also the sator has two large coils these looked to be wrapped in a black insulating cloth, is this normal, cos it sort of looks corroded, but not really? Upon examining the sator I noticed that one of the wires connected to a coil had broken off, so I soldered an extension on, heat shrunk it and then soldered it back on. Is this a ludicrous thing to do? Lastly the screws holding the sator onto the plate are an absolute bugger to remove, is this normal? Cheers G P.S. last thing to do to the bike (after winter) is to get a new output shaft installed and a rebore, oversize cylinder and rings installed, woohoo, another £400 to go!

I'm not sure about the rest, but I do know that some oil in the stator housing is normal (says so in the manual). Unless it's about half a quart or something obscene, you should be alright in that respect.

Oil insulates
Oil insulates, it does not conduct.
