Installing the Stator and Generator Cover AssemblyNow is a good time to clean the generator cover gasket surfaces of old gasket remnants. Do this for the gasket surface of the engine case, as well as the generator cover. Be sure to wipe up any particles that may fall in. Be sure you clean off all silicone remnants from the oil seals and cover, too. If you separated the oil delivery pipe from the generator cover--for some reason--bolt them back together. Be sure both ends of the oil delivery pipe have their O-rings installed.
If you removed the stator from the inside of the generator cover, do the following:
Finishing the Generator AssemblyInsert the two alignment dowels for the generator cover into the engine case. Then slip a new gasket over the dowels. Tip: The generator cover is magnetized to the generator rotor. As soon as you begin installing the cover, it will be sucked in by magnetic force. Bolt and torque the generator cover on, using 7.2 ft-lbs, which is 86.4 in-lbs. The long bolt nearest the oil delivery tube has a copper or aluminum washer. I recommend you install a new washer at this point. I didn't, and it leaked. Bolt and torque the oil-delivery-pipe back into its hole in the right-side of the engine case, using 7.2 ft-lbs of torque, which is 86.4 in-lbs. Again, be sure it has its O-ring installed. See photo below.
Now run the stator wires back into the corrugated wiring tube. Pull the wires through the tube. Then route the wires behind the rear of the engine, and up to the point of connection under the side-cover area, near the bike’s center. Smear some dielectric grease into the contact points of both connectors and then connect them.
