tenere stator melt
hi all
currently travelling south America on an 89 tenere - stuck at moment as one part of the stator has melted - the coil there is now one melted together piece - resulting in no spark and so i wait for repair of the stator -
2 months earlier the wires inside the casing entering the stator had melted together and resulted in a similar problem of no spark. My queston is why am I suffering such heat/almost fire! problems here ? - The bike is old so I am not exceeding 4500 rpms and I am running it for 3 or 4 hour stints max with much stopping for fotos etc every 30 mins - 1 hour. Before I left for the trip I had to pull the oil - cooler off the bike as it was damaged and blocked and preventing oil circulation in the system. Any link? The day the stator gave up was after 2 hours heavy sand riding followed by 50kms asphalt.
Thanks everybody for the previous help
