[QUOTE="eurofjr, post: 1470860, member: 624"] Because we were moving at the time, I wasn't able to actually test and examine the stator (or the regulator/rectifier) but, yeah, maybe not the stator (hopefully anyway). Those are good questions about storage. I believe it was stored with only a quarter tank of fuel, which was the max amount that the shipping company would accept for transport. As for "rodent-free storage spot"? I wish. It's in my Dad's barn which has serious issues with mice and birds. Still, I'm kind of sentimental and will probably dig my heels in and figure out a way to rehab the bike vs toss it. I know that there are solid used FJRs out there for a good price but I'm a sucker for a story. This being Radman's bike is meaningful to me and I'd like to get him up and running again. That being said, your recommendation to examine it in CO is a good one. It could end up costing well beyond buying a "new" used bike. I guess that means I have some time to see if I can find someone trustworthy in Colorado Springs. My Dad was a long-time HD rider but I'm not so sure those guys are going to be much help... :cool: [/QUOTE]
