@@greendoorgarage im doing a stator replacement on my 97 Intruder 800 because one of the wires is shorted to ground. Could this cause my bike to shut off completely? My engine and all electrical shut off while I was riding it. then came back on a few seconds later and it started right up again.

Yes this could absolutely cause this.​@randysavage1997

I have this same year and model and think this might be my next maintenance. I was losing headlight and power the other day. Seemed intermittent and flickering and i just replaced the battery prior to this happening as i was having to jump it every other time. Now in thinking it wasn't the battery at all.

[@stewartmacrae6149]

It may be your stator but if your stator is bad they tend to fry your battery as well so you would have had to replace it anyway

​@@stewartmacrae6149 So I'm thinking since I newly acquired this bike, the Stator and spark plugs and cleaning carbs are next... Since purchasing it in May (only one prior owner) had a fuel leak from one of the petcock hoses- replaced all 3 hoses and the fuel leak stopped, also replaced both air filters (good thing i bought those- there was huge gouges and holes in the corners!), replaced battery, and did an oil change... this latest problem only revealed itself after my drive after all the aforementioned maintenance done all at the same time... I have a multimeter and would love to see your process of diagnosing the stator. I also will look at replacing the spark plugs. My 94 intruder only has less than 18K miles so I suspect there were some other things never maintained or addressed... Since this is a relatively big job for a newb, before i get into the case, I want to be sure what gasket and part I should be looking at replacing as I don't have a garage so will need to do it all in a weekend. Could you possibly post the part numbers you used in your video description? also did you go OEM or A/M or is that even an option here? So far have been using all OEM parts.... Also side note! Your intruder is one of the first I've seen with the taller rider pillion pad like mine had- mine the screws were apparently stripped and I lost it on a super windy day on the freeway- can't find a replacement pad anywhere... ended up just getting the shorter/default rail and replacing the top rails with the normal shorter rail to keep it looking OEM. Be careful with the toolbay cover seat pad- maybe reinforce it with Velcro or something- lost that too and only one anywhere is sold outta Ebay from Korea for $200 plus $50 shipping! Yikes! Managed to find a replacement after weeks of calling a bunch of motorcycle salvage yards off an intruder 800 in Texas that was a match thank goodness as it saved me couple hundred- doubt i'll find another one!

Update: went to start testing regulator and stator today, apparently the negative terminal on the battery the screw came off and I think that was the root of all my recent problems because after reconnecting it ran completely fine. No electrical or engine issues. I was terrified it was the (very expensive) stator part but did some multimeter tests and I think it was just my dumb@** somehow not tightening negative terminal screw on battery enough which explains problems on last few rides- must have connected enough to start up like normal but only resting against terminals created problems when faced with the wind. Not sure if the screw has been missing the whole time or if it fell off the bike just now cuz it was just sitting under the bike... I do park in the same exact part of my driveway so I suppose could have been sitting there since my battery replacement a week ago. But either way working good now! Thank God and God bless America. Happy Independence Day! 🎆
