Stator Core Damage?, Req. Your Opinion

Reposted,moved from Engine forum.

I think this bike is also called the KZ 750 R. Here are some pics of the starter core, lead assembly, and brush plate. The carbon brushes cooked and crumbled so lead assembly and brush plate have to be replaced. The only question I have is weather or not the stator is too heavily groved.

The stator got grooved where the wires were touching it after the brushes wore completely away. But the grove doesn't look too deep.

I think the stator core looks usable. What do you think?

I'm going to buy the rebuild parts from these guys, cycleWAREables If I can figure out their website.

It looks like I would buy a rebuild kit, CWRBK-43 as indicated on their grid, but I'll send them an email and see what they have to say about it.

You could take it to a starter/alternator/electric motor shop and ask them to clean it up for you (probably the best solution) or wrap emory cloth around it and twist it back and forth until you have smoothed it out.
I'm talking about the grooves in the armature

emery cloth and a drill press works wonders. just chuck the armature in the press and polish away :side:

the end of armature looks like its worn really bad in the center where the brushes ride,i dont know about that one;)

Thanks for the tips. I will spin and buff it, and post follow-up pics.
