Stator clean

Finally got around to cleaning my stator today. After nearly 4000 Kms it was about time. I had to drop the bash plate and remove the gear lever-no issues there. The stator came off easily. It looked pretty clean but I gave it a once over with some hospital strentgh alcohol wipes. A lot of black gunk came off, it took about 4 wipes to get it clean so that no more gunk came off. After putting it all back the engine fired up straight away-phew. The only down side is that checking over the bike I noticed the roller on the chain guide was frozen. I pulled it off and the bearings just went every where-missed that bit of maintenance-only 20 bucks for a new roller and bearings. Finally the top of the guide was getting pretty cut up by the chain. One trick that works is to fill the grooves/gauges with liquid nails-good as new.

No pic's?

There is a much better example of cleaning a stator than I could provide (with pics) in the archives.
