HOW TO:- Suzuki DRZ400 Stator Inspection and Loctite Checks. Step By Step Guide. A MUST WATCH 

Great video, thank you for the step by step walkthrough- need to do this on my DRZ- it's a 2003 with 5,000 miles on it-- This will be a good afternoon project next time I change oil!

Great video. I just discovered this preventative maintenance for my DRZ

Excellent video. My DRZ has been leaking oil at the little rubber grommet that houses the stator wires where they go through the case. I fixed it two years ago, but it still leaks. I think it's also leaking at the starter gear cover. I am installing a new stator from Electrosport, which is supposedly a higher output ,a new gasket and new o-ring sometime this weekend.

Something i did notice, when replacing the ignition cover, i would be making sure that the locating dowels dont fall into the engine. Nice helpful vid tho, thnx

Love your videos mate! Very helpful. I'm not very mechanically confident and I don't think I would have been game to tackle this job without this video. One thing I'd add is some people recommended to me that I clean out the bolt hole/female threads (not sure of the name) as best as you can too, so the loctite binds. I used brake cleaner and a tiny bottle brush used for metal straws and quite a bit of crap came out.

Very comprehensive and good advice !!

Good job. I have to do it on my bike! Kind regards from Spain!

Awesome..now for the clutch!

Great video, thank you very much !!!! in 2 weeks I will change stactor of DRZ400s from 2004. I already changed one, but I did not know about it, the bike has 170 thousand km and now there is little light (I put two very powerful rigid lines 5 years ago) and I will change it. Regulator broke 5 years ago, battery inflated. I will also change the timing chain ... how do I change the chain guides?

I'm looking to buy a Suzuki Drz 400 SM i did notice some kinda glue/? around the timing plug bolt. It has only 1600 miles and runs great, nothing leaking as it runs. Should i be concerned?

awesome warning how the bushing goes missing at the end of the video oh btw don't lose the bushing when you first removed the cover. lesson to myself, do more research in forums and manual before videos.

Complimenti davvero un gran bel video. Posso chiederti dove hai comprato il copri pignone ?

Excellent video. Subscribed. 👍

Im just about to finish mine... What’s the torque setting for the 6 Hex head stator bolts that go into the magnesium cover? It’s pretty easy to strip the magnesium, so surely it’s not 15 Nm like the rotor bolts?

Thank you for the very information video! I was hoping to send you a private message, but this is just as well. I have a 2009 DRZ 400sm. I just cracked a whole in the stator cover. The shifter lever punched a hole in the side when I dropped it like dim whit. I’ve managed to get it disassembled, but my question is do you think jb weld on both the inside and outside of the cover will suffice to close the hole?

Hi!! Great video!! One question...its only nesesary remove 8 bolts of cover?? I removed the 8 bolts of cover but no move....

Thank you very much for the vídeo and info! Could you do for the other side as well? I heard something similar happens around the crankshaft?

Great video, thank you! Where did you get the chain guard around the front sprocket? Looks effective and sturdy!

Thanks

is it neccesary to replace the large gasket in this process? Also, did you use BLue Loctite on the 7 bolts holding the whole cover down?

Good stuff mate

You didn’t mention the torque settings for the stator cover bolts that you applied the loctite 243 to...

Awesome video, thank you! What about the famous loose cs nut fix, have you done that? I changed sprockets and chain on my new to me DRZ and found the cs nut to be loose.

Hi there. Can you tell me what year is this bike? Thanks, great video.

Hey bud, recently got back into off-road riding after 30 years on road bikes. Have drz400e 2018 model and changing sprockets and chains, noticed in front , slightly below the centre of the engine sprocket there is a single wire going into bike. Thought I had a broken or missing cover but noticed your bike is the same. What is that wire as the service manual doesn’t say sh*t about it. Love the vids and followed yours to service the chook chaser. Cheers Robbo

What size are the idler gear cover bolts? Thanks.

When do you change the mechanical seal of the water pump? what is the symptom?

Is the loctite fix necessary on the 2019 model

I want to get stuff ready before i start taking it apart so what size bolts did you replace those Phillips head screws with?

Oil leaks should be fixed asap. Even little ones. You dont want that small oil leak to become a big one while you decide to corner hard.

Hey. Thanks for the vid. Is there a way to contact you? I need your brains.

You’re missing a washer that goes on the starter gear on the actual motor it sits on the back of the case and the gear

I also just had the motor rebuilt a week ago, so this one hurts 🙁
