Good job my friend! My only advice to you is to not be afraid to crank down on some of this stuff..remember..it's all made of steel. Otherwise..keep em coming!
So if you don’t seal the grommet will the cover leak oil? Because I’ve taken this thing off twice to try and put it on again but I never sealed the grommet
The sealant only goes where the rubber grommet is to help seal between the rubber and the aluminum case, the rest only has the paper gasket. Recommended by the repair manual
@@zakariamouih97 it’s been awhile since I did it now but I believe I used rtv silicone, the manual calls for Yamaha brand which is yamabond. I believe I showed the packaging for what I used if you scrub through the video it should be there
@@shedsomer6843 thanks man, i got the same problem with the same bike lol i got it a few days ago. The guy i got it off replaced the stater and now its leaking in my garage.
At least it’s a pretty simple thing to change, just remember to throw the coolant Reservoir bracket back on before torquing everything down, I always forget that and have to pull them back out to put it on
I recently found a product called 1-minute gasket, found it at advanced auto parts. Seals well and can be riden immediately. Wouldn’t hurt to put some of that around the grommet.
ShedSome R6 i haven’t checked but I think it’s from the same place on top because my cover it’s oily and that happened yesterday coming from a ride I notice my boot was wet and when I check it was oil so I trace it back to the cover on top and it has that grey glue JBL quick fix so I think last guy before me had done something to it
It definitely seems like a fail point on the design but at least it’s not a huge task to pull off and seal up, I havnt had the best luck with the sealants I have used so far but one of these times I’ll find one haha
thank you for your video. I want to replace my stator cover because it has some damages (no oil leakages) it looks not nice anymore. my question is-do you need use the silicone kit anyway even when I have no problems with leakages?
NA Na the repair manual says to use it for the spot around the grommet. I haven’t tried to put it on without it before so I’m not sure if it would end up leaking. I would recommend using some sort of silicone or yamahbond silicon, which is the Yamaha version that is used
@@lstruggy can’t beat that! You should be good just filling it up and putting the stabilizer in, let her idle for 5 minutes. Also if there is an outlet where you are going to store the bike it wouldn’t hurt to have a battery tender hooked up. Ive always heard different opinions on running bikes being stored, from my understanding running a bike once a week really wouldn’t have any benefit, the heating and cooling of the bike causes moisture to build up and it’s not really long enough to let that burn off. Again, just my two cents but if you do end up firing it up here and there let it get to operating temp, which varies by bike but I would guess around 160-170. Probably like you said 10-15 minutes. Good luck with the bike and good luck when you go to get your M-license! And also thank you I love the R6 as well!
@@shedsomer6843 was good bro!? Yo i might’ve put too much stabili treatment in there I think I put 2 oz for 3 gallonish and now white smoke is coming out of the exhaust 😖 I just drained all the current fuel that’s inside and put a couple gallons of fresh gas in it would that eventually eliminate all that smoke? Is it ok for me to cycle the 2 gallons fresh gas with whatever remaining after I drained her out? I think it’s burning all that sta-bili I put in there that’s where all the white smoke is from I’m guessing. I did it last Thursday and today I tried starting warming her up cause someone wants to look at it and possibly buy it but the deal didn’t happen cause of this, what would u do?
@@lstruggy Must’ve been a little too much for 3 gallons. Sounds like it just needs to work it’s way through, fresh gas and running it should clear it up. Gas with Stabil in it always runs a little different
Mike Anthony 2oz treats 5 gallons, it’s a little more than what’s required but I’ve always used a little more than what the bottle says. Sorry I didn’t get back to you sooner, I saw your comment and was going to check how much I used and forge it to get back to you
Where did u buy your replacement stator from? My poor baby and I went down due to a very stupid person and now my stator has a large and defined crack down the the side of it, I actually have the exact same bike as u so ya where can I buy me a new stator for George
J Street this year the weather has been so rainy I’ve barely rode, maybe next year it’ll actually be nicer out and I can figure out what’s it is. My weego jump pack has saved me hundreds of times
Itachi_Heartnet for taking off the stator cover I used a ratchet with a I believe 8mm Allen head, I may be wrong on the size I would have to check. And then putting it back on I used a torque wrench with the same Allen. I think the bolts holding the stator in place are the same if I remember correctly. To remove the fairing to get to the stator cover it was just a philips head screwdriver or a 4mm Allen now that I converted the fairing bolts
did the swap about 2 weeks ago, everything was clean. It gave me one more problem, the regulator rectifier. For anyone who has a 99-02 r6,the stator does not begin to charge the battery until about 6,000 RPMs. The rectifier has a tendency of burning out on these bikes as well just do to positioning. You can go on eBay all you want and buy them for $20 but its going to burn out and you are going to be stranded. It happened to me. I read around, and the best way to avoid being stranded with a dead bike is to buy the Regulator Rectifier for a 02 GSXR 600. It Works! I've been running it and have had no problems with the charge what so ever. Good Luck to anyone doing this and thanks for the stator tutorial, helped me so much
Just Lu. When I was changing my stator and diagnosing the problems I was having I had check my rectifier and someone before me had cut all of the wires and put different connectors on them which was odd, my grandfather and I checked the rectifier with a multimeter and determined it was working. But it definitely seems like the rectifier is a common problem as well. Thank you for the info and suggestion to others!
Dude this is super quality! Keep this up for real, good camera and audio quality and entertaining. I subbed up. Also thanks lol, I need to change my stator and now I know what I’m in for on my 1st gen R6
Bro that’s how to people become broke I’m making about 200 k a year After tax and I but shit from Craigslist then I go spend 10k on a vacation that’s how it’s done bro save ur cash make it last
Hey im about to change my stator. I dont need to even buy a flywheel pully because the stator is right on the cover as far as i can see. Hmu leme kno thanks. Im a first timer so ....
It was quite a process putting them in but it was definitely worth it! And definitely worth the money. The big reason I got them was because I love the sequinential look and also a very important part is because the way most turn signals are changed to flush mounts, from the front a car usually can't see that your turn signal is on but with these it adds that much more visibility and I like that aspect as well.
