trialtrial Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 In trying to hunt down a misfire in my 2008 Rev 4T, I pulled the stator and trigger coil out. Gee look what I found. The PO must have rode it hard and put it away wet! Looks like its out of a 30 year old bike that has been sitting outside on the Scottish Coast all its life.

neilnh Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 Try the earths at the top of the coil and make sure all your connections are clean and spotless when you put them together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadof2 Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 Common cause of corrosion in stators is use of silicone sealant on the cover joint. Many types of sealant give off acetic acid fumes as they cure / harden. This creates a highly corrosive acidic vapour inside the cover. Use something like Hylosil that contains corrosion inhibitors instead of acid. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need that crap wich corrosion inhibitors. It looks to me like that RTV did a good job of sealing the water IN. One can still see clean water droplets in the pic! Know what that means, don't you!
