My group will be there at 930-10. there should be 4 or 5 of us, can't wait to meet y'all!

If it's alright with y'all, we could meet up with you guys as you're getting onto the 94 from the 15. It's just that we live in Coronado, so it wouldn't make much sense for us to drive up to Mira Mesa, then come right back down again.. Let me know!

So if we meet at the Mira Mesa shell, are we heading up to Julian at that point or back south towards 94?

Hey guys, I'm relatively new here but I've met up with Motogiro a couple times for some electrical work. I'm active duty and I have some friends at my squadron with bikes too that may be interested as well! Not sure how all the meet ups will work, but if I could get a relative time, and location...

well everyone the job is finally finished. the welder did a great job and im sure it will be a much more permanent fix, i certainly wont have to worry about the jb weld coming off at a bad time. overall for parts, the weld, oil, and paying my buddies to help me tow it around, it came to around...

Yes they ought to be doing all they finishing as well. So I should be good to throw the parts on and ride (after changing the oil of course). I'm hoping I have no future issues, like you said I'm trying to do it the right way now so I don't have a reoccurring issue. Thanks for all of your help...

thanks to all for the help and suggestions! I got in contact with a few welders, and I found one who will do the job and tap and drill the new holes for me for 120-160 he said. i have the new stator on order right now, so hopefully in a few weeks it will be in and i can begin riding again...

Stator was just different overall, it's hard to explain but the plug in was different, and the ends of each coil was different, mine was flat on the edges and this one had like a ridge on each one. And yea if it get it welded ill most likely have to get it drilled. any tips for that procedure?

Yea, one of the bolt holes got partially taken out, I ran a bolt through and it still threads as is. I figure I might be able to use a tap and dye kit to rethread th hole after patchwork is done. New generator is off of an 09 fz6, I looked up oem parts and it says the 04-09 use the same entire...

thank you all for the input! i'm going to look into welders in the area and see if any are able to take on the task. if not, then it looks like i'll be getting some JB weld after all. i checked the crank today and it looks good, pulled off the generator finally (the couple whacks with a hammer...

where could i rent that stuff? a motorcycle repair shop? and for using the JB the steps would be: aggresive paper (i assume sand paper), wipe with lacquer thinner, scuff again with 320, put engine sealant on, then the jb weld. is that correct? thanks!

You are right on that. I definitely won't have the bike forever. I'm just skeptical of the overall durability of the JB weld and if the oil will erode it or cause it to break apart then there is a chunk flying around in my engine. Lots of possibilities. Just gotta make a decision I suppose...

Sounds like I'm gonna have to pull the engine if I'd want to check out the specs on the crank.. That oughta be interesting. As of now I'm having a hell of a time trying to remove the generator, I've tried two different pullers and it won't budge. And skooter if you could pm me the details we can...

Unfortunately to Autoport on base is total garbage. They don't even have useable tools :/ and yea that's a good point about the JB weld. A quick cheap solution is rarely a permanent one.
