Is it a 2000 or 2002? Your title says 2002, but your topic talks about a 2000. I think if you want to replace that you will need to go OEM from the dealer and not aftermarket.

whats the big difference i mean i need a 60 dollar pickup coil but my stator is good i just really hate to pay 500 bucks for a part that is good u know

If you want to try it, you could drill out the press rivets and try bolting the new pickup onto your old stator. I would use lock nuts and/or some red locktite to make sure every thing stays in place. The most tricky part of this will be making sure that you have the proper air gap between the pickup and the flywheel. So measure the gap before you remove the old pickup and do your best to keep that same gap when you put the new one on.

I understand completely why you don't want to replace the whole assembly when only the pickup is bad. Even though it may not be recommended by some, I would try it myself before dropping $500 on a whole new unit. BTW, I am moving this thread into the Yamaha forum.
