'03-'05 FJR1300 Hi-Output Stator - Long-Term Report

[Warchild]

x-post, for the very few FJR owners who haven't seen this on one of the two main FJR forums.....



Long-Term Report - ElectroSport ESH130 Stator for 2003-2005 FJR1300s -

Installed 9 months and approximately 16,000 miles ago. With the exception of a loose R/R connector (obviously not the stator's problem), this component has delivered pretty much exactly what was promised.

The system as a whole behaves as if the usable stator output is roughly in the 560w - 580w range, thereabouts. This stator allows '05 and earlier model year FJR1300 owners to safely run auxiliary lights and heated clothing concurrently, for extended periods of time, without fear of discharging their batteries.

Datel observations:

Once the R/R connector problem was eliminated, Datel readings have been exceptionally consistent.  Generally, with no other electrical accessories running, the Datel will push a non-wavering 13.9v at any engine speed above 2000 RPM.

When ambient temperatures are below 50-55 degrees F, the Datel will push 14.0 volts until the bike is thoroughly warmed up, whereupon it will generally drop to its usual 13.9v display.

Adding the usual power-sucking accessories (heated grips, aux lights, Warm-n-Safe liner, etc) will see the Datel backing off in a consistent, repeatable manner.

Overall Assessment:

This stator kicks ass. Score: 10/10.  Highly, highly recommended.

Here is the stock FJR1300 stator, still bolted within its housing:




In many ways, the ESG130 stator appears fairly identical to the stock stator, although the ESG130 seems to weigh a little more than stock. As expected, the windings appear to be a pinch thicker, and there appears to be more of them. The armature ends also appear to be a bit larger than stock.

The ESG130 on the right, the stock on the left:



The new stator fits within the stock housing just fine. Ensure the three torex bolts are torqued to spec. Do ensure that wire harness bracket is oriented correctly prior to re-installing the stator; if it is not seated properly, it can score (etch) a groove into the flywheel, which is obviously undesirable (!)

warchild, thanks for the revue.
 i have Ben thinking about getting one, but now you just maid up my mind. I'm adding lights and heated gear this winter so power drain was a concern.
 my only question is what is the wattage output on the electrosport stator?

 my only question is what is the wattage output on the electrosport stator?

ElectroSports claims the output is 100-watts higher than stock.... they show 590-watts via bench testing.

My real world (on-the-bike) testing suggests it's a bit lower than that, but it does appear we're getting a good 70-to-80 watts higher than stock, which is pretty significant.

It's enough to run my HID low-beams, PHIDs, Warm-n-Safe liner and Widder leg chaps @ 75%, all concurrently, and still see about 13.2-ish volts out of the Datel at 2500 RPM and above. Pretty sweet.

  thanks for the info.


  with around a 100 watt's more i'll have no problem running all the farkles and then some.
