Well, I don't have time to write this up properly, but some of you just can't wait. So here's what I got so far.
Basically, it's a thumb's up, with a few notes.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.....
The only slight downer in this purchase is that ElectroSport can not obtain the original Yamaha gray connector that retains the three white (stator output) wires and affixes them to the Regulator/Rectifier. Towards that end, you'll want to shrink-tube the bare female connectors as they arrive from ElectroSport:
Then attach your connectors to the Regulator/Rectifier:
You should probably tidy things up a little before bolting the R/R back into place:
Finally, check the stator cover seal (yellow arrows) to ensure your cover doesn't leak oil:
Warchild's ESG130 Stator Impressions:
I would like some more time for testing before fully commenting here. I am not quite done with Phase I testing... almost, but not quite.
That having been said......
Thus far, I am indeed seeing a fair amount of available power above what is present in a stock configuration. Exactly how much more *usable* power is available, this I am not prepared to state quite yet. I believe I can safely say I am seeing an additional 60-ish watts at a bare minimum; it's likely to be a good bit higher once I am all done testing.
Bottom line: this stator appears to be a Player!
Datel readings:
Interestingly, when the bike first starts up, the Datel sits at a steady 13.9 volts for a good 30-45 seconds, then it climbs slowly up to a healthy 14.3v-14.4 v and stays at this reading consistantly (unless you activate a brake light, turn signal, etc.)
Then I throw on the PHIDS, and the Datel will fall to ~ 14.0v-14.1v
Then I throw on a Widder vest/arm chaps (both set on high), the Datel sinks to about 13.7v
Then I throw on a set of Widder leg chaps, now the Widder sinks to about 13.5v.
When I have all items set on "high" (HIDs, PHIDs, Widder vest, Widder Arm Chaps, Widder Leg Chaps, Valentine One, GPSIII+.....), the Datel will display ~ 13.4v (+/- .1v)
When I have all the items lit up as above, but back off my Widder electronic controller to about 50%-60%, the Datel will display a pretty healthy 13.6v-13.7v.
Questions.
