Benevolent Dictator
Installed 9 months and approximately 16,000 miles ago.
With the exception of a loose R/R connector (obviously not the stator's problem), this component has delivered pretty much exactly what was promised.
The system as a whole behaves as if the usable stator output is roughly in the 560w - 580w range, thereabouts. Where the stock stator is rated at 490w.
This stator allows '05 and earlier model year FJR1300 owners to safely run auxiliary lights and heated clothing concurrently, for extended periods of time, without fear of discharging their batteries.
Datel observations:
Once the R/R connector problem was eliminated, Datel readings have been exceptionally consistent. Generally, with no other electrical accessories running, the Datel will push a non-wavering 13.9v at any engine speed above 2000 RPM.
When ambient temperatures are below 50-55 degrees F, the Datel will push 14.0 volts until the bike is thoroughly warmed up, whereupon it will generally drop to its usual 13.9v display.
Adding the usual power-sucking accessories (heated grips, aux lights, Warm-n-Safe liner, etc) will see the Datel backing off in a consistent, repeatable manner.
Overall Assessment:
This stator kicks ass. Score: 10/10. Highly, highly recommended.
Original Install photos:
Here is the stock FJR1300 stator, still bolted within its housing:
In many ways, the ESG130 stator appears fairly identical to the stock stator, although the ESG130 seems to weigh a little more than stock. As expected, the windings appear to be a pinch thicker, and there appears to be more of them. The armature ends also appear to be a bit larger than stock.
The ESG130 on the right, the stock on the left:
The new stator fits within the stock housing just fine. Ensure the three torex bolts are torqued to spec. Do ensure that wire harness bracket is oriented correctly prior to re-installing the stator; if it is not seated properly, it can score (etch) a groove into the flywheel, which is obviously undesirable (!)
