2000 Suzuki Quadmaster 500 Stator

[raybob]

Is it hard to replace a stator on a 2000 quadmaster 500. tryed everything else,, ordered stator will be here soon. thanks Raybob in Kentucky

it's probably one of the easiest fixes on a bike. take the cover off, 6-8 bolts and you're inside. 3 bolts usually holding the stator in and 2 phillips head screws holding the pick up coil. make sure you thread the wiring tight and one connection .... you can do it in an hour or less ...

[raybob]

thanks I hope it comes in soon

[raybob]

on a 2000 quad master is the stator location on the left side under the pull rope or on the belt side. if you are setting on the atv the pull rope is on your left side. thanks getting ready to change the stator

[oxidized_black]

sitting on the bike it's on your left side ...

[raybob]

oxidized black got the pull rope off all the bolts out of the stator cover, unhooked the two water lines and removed the hoses,, pulled off the gear that the starter goes into about a 9/16 bolt head in the center. now I see three screws do they have to come out to get the cover off,, cover is loose. I dont want to break anything thanks for the help. Raybob

[oxidized_black]

the green x's are pieces that come off. the red is where you want to be.

does this help?

[raybob]

yes it helps a lot on the housing that covers the stator the last one with the green x to the left of c and bolt looks like a pin going strait up and down does it have to come out. thanks for all the help. Ray

[oxidized_black]

nope, just the bolts holding the covers on...

[raybob]

i see the bolts,, this one has no threads and going up not pointing the same direction as the other bolts

[oxidized_black]

is it hollow? like a straw? it could just pull out and is a guide ...

[raybob]

thanks that may be whats holding it in

[raybob]

is that a water pump that the hoses go to bottom left side of the cover. still cant get cover off

* Merged both threads on stator into one topic. Added year, make, and model to thread title.

[raybob]

I have removed all the bolts that hold the cover on,, removed the water pump,,, cover rocks back and forth but it seems like something in center is holding it on,, there are three Philips screws .is there is a snap ring on the shaft. I have given up dont want to break the cover 2000 quad master 500 4x4, thanks Ray

[raybob]

oxidzed black was right what was holding it on was the wires thanks ox black,, Its off now

[oxidized_black]

glad you have it off and all is good !!

[raybob]

I am going to change the oil and also change the final gear oil since some leaked out where do you drain the final gear oil and fill final gear oil and fill it. Ray
