I recently bought one of the kanji embossed stator covers off mad hornets. It is a much sturdier piece than the OEM, with much nicer bolts that also conveniently size match the interior stator mount.
I did have a problem after installation. The bike would idle fine and rev normally to about 4000 rpm, but between 4-5000 it would sputter and backfire like crazy, giving it more throttle it would take off like a champ all the way to the redline. Gearing didn't seem to matter, the problem was there in every gear. It would also throw C21-C24 codes, insufficient spark on all four cylinders.
The stator cover was the only mechanical part I had changed recently, so I disassembled it first. Nothing seemed to be wrong. I reassembled it and sure enough the problem went away.
Not sure what I did wrong the first time, but if anyone else changes out their stator cover and gets a similar problem it might be an easy fix before you tear apart the plugs and coils and everything else.
