Stator Gasket Leaking

[dinobusa]

Ordered a new stator put it in and now it is leaking, any suggestions?

If the bolts are properly torqued, then it's time to tear it down. Did you replace the gasket ?

 

[frisbee]

did you use any gasket sealer

If you didn't replace the gasket and add sealer then pop it back off and reseal it. Check to make sure all the bolts are tight 1st. Mine was leaking after I replace the cover, turns out two of the bolts were just a tad loose.

What your reason for replaceing the stator if you dont mind me asking? I starting to have problem and the F1 light says its my crank sensor. Thanks

Hint on replacing gaskets.
I usually will use yamabond on the gasket side that touches the cover and a thin coat of vaseline on the other side of the gasket that touches the cases.
This way when you remove the cover in the future the gasket wont tear this trick was learned when I had a slider clutch in a GSXR dragbike. After going through many clutch gaskets from adjusting the clutch an old school guy taught me the trick. No more gasket buying for me.
By a torque wrench or you will be purchasing a helicoil set soonier or later. LOL

What's the torque spec? I don't want to strip the bolts
