betarick Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 (edited) HI all! my 290 2011 evo died tonight and as no spark! tried disconecting kill switch checked all wiring conectors spark plug and cap! do evos suffer with sator failure? as i had to replace one on my old rev3! also before it died i have had a fault on my fan and it was running all the time even when starting from cold, i did disconect fan switch and it stopped so i left it connected and thought it was better it going all the time than not at all! would fan running all the time had an efect on stator and made it fail? cheers for any replys.

paul w Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 yes, replace one on mine at 8 months old. I was just entering a section, and it stopped, wouldn't believe it at first, swap all parts of identical bike to make sure, got it under warrenty so not so bad, but still................

outlaw dave Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 On a "Positve" note - We have not had any Stator failures on any Evos in Canada ( maybe it's the air) - One thing to check on the 09/010 is the level in the rad as the thermostat is at the top - ( Changed to bottom for 2012) Cheers Outlaw Dave (Beta Dealer) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

betarick Posted May 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 i checked coolant level when i noticed fan going all the time and it was fine to top of radiator . Will this fan problem put extra load on stator and made it fail ? Will be ringing lampkins today to see what can be done ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadof2 Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 The fan and the ignition are separate as far as the statoir is concerned. Lampkins (BETA UK) is just at Keigthly and I would think with a 2011 you may get it sorted under warranty even if it is a bit over a year old.

digger144 Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 posted this one some while ago ,on our 250 evo it was the kill switch connector on the loom, not the kill switch itself, part the two wires &fit after market killswitch, the connector is behind the headlamp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betarick Posted May 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 (edited) i took original beta switch off bike when it was New as i have had trouble with them before ! It is not the kill switch as i have disconnected it. anyone know which wires to test stator ingnition coil?

digger144 Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 you are missing the point it is the double wire connector on the loom that gave trouble not the kill switch connector, any problems give lampkins a ring they are very helpful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stork955 Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 Gday, search back through this forum, I posted some specs for my EVO ignition about 1 year ago. These will give you a starting point to work from. PS - dont think that stator failures are restricted to Beta's - other bikes have them as well, they just dont talk about them as much... :-) Cheers, Stork Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stork955 Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 Gday, just found these in my Beta folder. Measured directly from my running 2010. Source Coil Blue and Red resistance - 316 ohms. No circuit to ground. output at kickover - 25 V AC Trigger Coil White and Black resistance - 336 ohms. No ground. output at Kickover - 0.3 v AC Coil Secondary measured from plug cap to ground Resistance - 10.17 K Ohms Coil Primary White/red trace Measured between CDI connector and ground. Resistance 0.4 ohms Ground Brown 0 ohms circuit to ground. Cheers, Stork Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

betarick Posted May 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 (edited) Here are my readings source coil 1.286 K OHMS trigger coil 361 ohms coil secondary 9.70k ohms coil primary 0.4 ohms brown 0 ohms Do these figures make sense? i have noticed that fan turns when i kickstart it!

betarick Posted May 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 (edited) Well confirmed evo still have the beta stator failure tonight tryed my cdi and coil on a running evo tonight and they are both fine spare bike runs with them! I removed stator which looks like new no rust or mud as i allways remove cover after washing bike and leave to dry till i next ride bike.Tested stator again with multimetre and got a reading of 1.278 kohms on source coil measured across red and blue wires at cdi multiplug! should only be about 350ohms! so all that worry about cdi stuck to side of engine and getting damaged forget as stator will f--kup before you bash that!

stork955 Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 You are right. CDI's and coils rarely fail unless we do something to them.... Stork Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
