i replaced a stator on my friend's '06 XL1200C and thought i'd share how i did it.it'll take two people,though

1)drain primary fluid-5/8" socket (also disconnect the neg battery cable)
2)loosen chain adjuster all the way-allen head socket and crescent wrench
3)loosen clutch cable and pull clips that hold the cable to the frame-15mm and 13mm wrenches
4)remove derby cover and lock-nut and spring-T-27 torx socket
5)turn clockwise clutch adjuster stud until ramp pops all the way out-flat blade screwdriver
6)remove clutch ramp from cable
7)remove shifter arm from shaft (put in neutral b 4 removal)-7 allen(i think)
8)remove primary cover-16 bolts 3/16" allen socket(i think)
9)remove large nut on the crank snout-1 1/8" socket,breaker bar and 6' cheater pipe.i wedged a plastic door trim removal tool inbetween the teeth on the crank sprocket (on the top) and the chain.have somebody sit on the bike holding the brakes and loosen nut.it's right hand threaded.
10)pull magnetic basket/crank sprocket off crank snout
11)remove 4 bolts holding stator to crank case-T-20 torx
12)unplug stator to regulator harness on right front of frame(circular plug)
13)unbolt wire protectant shield from crank case-8mm socket (or 5/16" socket)
14)pull plug and wires through right side covers and through crank case
15) clean all bolt/screw threads with wire wheel or wire brush
16) reverse procedure to install new stator assembly.
17)remember to torque the large nut on the crank snout to 240 ft.lbs. and don't be shy with the red loktite.the wedge goes on the bottom of the chain and crank sprocket when tightening.make sure to leave the chain on the sprocket while removing the sprocket and put chain on before installation of said sprocket.

hope this helps

 

How do you get the chain off the rotor without pulling the clutch?
