  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

2008 510 Stator

Hi!
I am the new owner of a 2006 SM 450RR. The motor was originally blown and replaced with a 2008 TXC 510 (501cc) motor. I recently put a light kit on it and had it registered for the street. I have found out the hard way that they stator is probably not putting out enough current to power as the lights and the battery is die after one ride. I will do more testing to make sure it is not the battery.

My question is, can I replace this stator with a TE 2008 stator and will it have more power? the information I have found is a little vague but, it I think the TE puts out a lot more watts than the TXC (unsure).

Also, where can I find a stator. I have looked many places on the internet and have had no luck. A lot of places have other year models but no 2008 TE or TXC 501 stators. Is this going to be a dealer only item?

Thanks,
 
Contact Ricky Stator. they can rewire yours, convert your setup using a regulator/rectifier, or even just sell you one of theirs
 
I think the TE stator will fit. Failing that a stator re wiring will do the job and it is not too expensive
 
Thanks for the info. I'm not sure the TE will fit without changing the connection plugs and the wiring looks different. It looks like a headache. I also looked into "floating the ground" but that looks like a pain too. Before I go down these paths, I am looking into plan B. I figured the stock stator is putting out around 30-45 watts. I installed a 35 watt bulb which is probably what is killing it. I found some cheapo 6 watt LED motorcycle bulbs on Ebay. I don't plan on riding this bike on trips or at night and it is just a toy. So, as long as the front light glows and keeps the police from pulling me over, that is fine with me. Thought I would give that a try first before I go rewiring everything. You might see me back in a couple of weeks asking again how to rewire it though. :excuseme: :thumbsup:
 
Good luck Ed. If you do rewire it is a straight forward but a professional job. I am confident that you can at least double the the wattage output.
Just for good measure I will share with you some tips that have kept my Huskies from crapping out"
1; use iridium plugs
2; use a battery trickle charger
3; every fuel top up I put in at circa 100:1 ratio put 2stroke fully syn oil in the fuel-it does the following, cushions the valves in their seats-outcome valves stay in spec. Keeps the top ring extra lubes and a great by product is that it keeps the fuel clean
4: every tyre change grease the wheel bearings throughly and do the swing arm bearings at least annually (I do it every 6 months)
5: use a top notch coolant-I have yet to boil over-remember Aussie is a hot country and I am 250 pounds so it works
6; replace all fluids annually being fork, clutch and brake. Aldo clean stator perimeter.
7: spray WD 40 over the bikes electrics, throttle body, cables and hose clips after washing.

Mate after 5 Huskies I have never had a mechanical. I put it down to maintenance. BY the way I change oi every 500KM or 3rd ride what ever comes first and the air filter is inspected every ride.

Now go ride it like you stole it.
 
The TXC uses the stator that was in previous years of TEs. It should work fine since they ran street legal gear. Maybe there is a problem with yours. Going to LED should take care of your problem though.
 
I have a TC 510 that i hooked up a txc regulator/rectifier and wired 2 led fronts and led rear light with signals and have no problems. Do you have a rectifier installed?

Nope, this is wrong. The TEs and SMRs use part number 8000 A6737. The TXC and TC use part number 8000 A4265 or 8000 A4257. If you look at the graph for a 2008 TXC, at 3500RPMs it shows 1 Amp at 36 volts. This is equal to (1A)(36V) = 36 watts. If you look at a TE graph, it shows 13A at 14V which is equal to (13A)(14V) = 182 watts. huge difference. Not sure if the LED will work because to be honest, I have not even checked the output on the stator yet. I thought I would order the LED to get the order in and check the stator this weekend. I am hoping the LED will fix the problem though

Yep, i have a rectifier. It might be a bad stator as you stated. I have not even check the voltage or the ohms through it yet but, will do that this weekend. I just put the bike on the road for the first time last week so, I kind of expect the little gremlins to creep up on me. I will check the stator this weekend. If it is bad, I will replace it. If it is not putting out enough juice, I will probably buy some magnet wire and add another layer of windings to the poles. Shipping and waiting for a repair is too long for me to wait since it is becoming spring here in NZ.

I think you might be comparing EFI TE to carb TXC. I ran head light,tail light and grip heaters on both my 08 TXC 450 no problem.
 
If I remember correctly, 08' TE/SM stators put out 232watts at 6-7000 rpm. EFI required a significant boost in power to run compared to the carbed bikes.

Nope, I said the TXC used a stator from previous years of TEs and I just looked up my 2005 TE and it used part # 8000A4257, same as your bike. Those 2005 bikes ran lights and other stuff as well. In 2008 the fuel injected models got a new heavy duty stator for the large demands of the FI system, it had nothing to do with running lights. If your stator doesn't want to run lights there is something wrong, but LED will probably get you by as you have figured out.

Yep, you were right. Sorry bout that. I should read more carefully. Anyway, looks like the LED headlight did the trick. The stator was putting out around 30 volt AC at idle so I suspect it might be the reg/rect. I am not going to replace it unless it becomes a problem though. I do appreciate everyone's input.
