Could you give us some shots of the stator tack job before you reinstall?
Sure glad you caught this before it really caused problems..

Wow, good work guys. It's some hard luck that it wasn't your tower gasket, but at least its a reminder that things never go to plan.

How do you get bikes on and off of the milk crate table?

Chad, thanks for being there for Joe to bail him out. You know how these rookie kids are when they get a hold of a wrench.....

Short of going into the Primary, how do you check. What were the first indicators of a problem? The leaks?

There is no stator tack job, it's the rotor. Joe has the upgraded rotor already. Someone must have previously switched it out. Maybe he bought the bike used and wasn't aware that it had already been changed. The rotor he has is an 07 and up rotor.

I thought they started swapping stators halfway though the 06 model year.
