Stator Replacement
My Stator is leaking oil from the rubber grommet on the motor case. I have tried to apply black RTV to no avail and have to replace it. It works fine but the leak is driving me nuts!
Question: Does anyone know what the amp output is on the stock stator for a 2010 ultra? Does anyone have the Accel 50 amp stator?? Any comments help. Basically trying to figure out if I should just replace it with another HD stator or go to the Accel 50 amp stator. Thanks

That stinks. But if you have to change it, it's not a hard job at all. Did mine last year along with the regulator.
There is a little trick to make it easier to change and more info if you do a search.
You have to pull the outer primary, but you don NOT have to pull the inner, which makes the whole job MUCH easier, if you do the following.
There is a little extra casting material that was left on the outer primary (inside the casing, unseen...) that stops you from pulling the stator off. It's only about 3/16's and comes off real easy with a dremel, etc. Cover the area with cloths and keep it clean. Very easy and much easier than pulling the inner primary.
It took us about an hour and a half including beer drinking and no drama...lol.
Easy...hope it works out.
ps I went aftermarket stator...my original was scary fried...

Try a sealant called "The Right Stuff" it has worked for me. It isn't cheap. I clean and dry the grommet then pull it up slightly to get the sealant under the edges and then seal all the way around the plug. I have used it on a couple of bikes and it worked.

I would drain the primary and brake clean the plug from the inside. Then I'd high temp silicone that thing from the inside and outside. I'd never replace a working stator over a leak. Not on my dime anyway. Now if it was warranty that's another matter.

This is what I would do too. I would reuse the primary gasket also if you don't tear it when taking it off. I have reuse this gasket multi times without leaks.

AHHH! Thanks to all. This will be my second trip into my primary. I originally thought the leak was from the primary gasket. But nope!. I have "the right stuff" sealant. I think I will seal the new one inside and out. Why replace the regulator? Thanks to all.
