I HAVE NO EXPERIENCE WITH HARELYS. ATVs ARE NOT MOTORCYCLES. DO NOT ASK ME ABOUT THEM. DON'T ASK UNLESS YOU HAVE LOOKED IN THE SHOP MANUAL FIRST - IT ONLY ROBS SOMEONE WITH A REAL QUESTION OF THE OPPORTUNITY. You can ask me electrical questions about 1975-85 HONDAS. You can ask me about driving sidecars in the winter, or sidecars in general. You can ask me general motorcycle repair questions, but my main experience is with Honda CX500, GL500, CX650, GL650, GL1000 and GL1100 models. I also know a bit about the Suzuki GS400 and 1980s Dneprs, but I haven't touched either in years. If you ask about a model I am not familiar with I will do my best to find your answer.

Need help with vintage Hondas from the 1960s? I am an expert with 250-305cc bikes in particular and most all of the other pre-91 models, in general. I do NOT claim to have a great deal of experience on Gold Wings, Cruisers, ATC/ATVs and dirt bikes.

2009-11-18 Stator motor replacement:

Paul-Ivan, I am not sure if you mean the stator rotor or the starter motor? To remove the stator rotor (which is often the cause of charging system failures) you need to buy a removal tool.. http://pitposse

the seal is on the outside of the main bearing and is pushed against the case and rides on the shaft spacer. If the bearing was loose, first it would make noise and second, where the seal is it wouldn't

Brandon.... when you have power to the turn signals and they are dim and/or don't flash, then the usual issue is the ground path back to the chassis/battery ground. Make sure that you have the correct
