Excessive heat from stator cover

[mike]

I have never noticed excessive heat from the stator cover in the past. Yesterday I took a short ride and the cover was damn hot. I felt it through my riding pants when I came in contact with it at a stop. It was very hot when I felt it with my riding gloves.

Have I just not noticed it in the past or have I got a problem on my hands?

I doubt it’s anything, stators don’t necessarily get hot when they go bad. The case covers get hot enough to burn your skin.

Measure Charging voltage across the battery terminals at idle. As long as it’s 13.5-14.5 VDC I wouldn’t worry any more about it.
