What stater is best aftermarket or stock

[Cavesguy]

I might have to replace my stater but im not done trouble shooting. I priced a stock one and it is 420. The heavy duty aftermarket ones on ebay or around 120. The guy i talked to at the bike shop said you can't trust the aftermarket ones. Also im thinking of doing the kickstart kit to solve my starting problems

[Qqqqqqqqqqqq]

the OEM are the ones i have the most confidence in

the OEM stator is overpriced from any stealer .. new

seek a used low mile one ..

If you must or can afford....go OEM

I my self have had trouble free riding with my Ricky Stator. $125 shipped to my door. Plug and play and not a problem

Ricky Stator is a member here and stands behind his product. I would buy one of his in a heartbeat.

if you have starting issues a kick start wont help them. what are the starting issues DRZs typically start easily

Oem or Ricky Stator,,,,quality on the others is anything from a Guess, to known junk.

I've installed a bunch of ricky startors with no issues, to include the one in my bike.

I would be apprehensive about purchasing from RM Stator. I have had two, both failed withing 5K miles.

I've an OEM coming to replace the last one.

Who makes the "RM" stator you using? Rocky mountain?

[Drz Charlie]

It's a Canadian Company. RM STATOR .

I should be fair in my assessment of them. my first (OEM) stator failed due to the PO's inept wiring which caused a harness fire. The second was an RM Stator and failed due to it not being a quality product, as such RM stood behind it after seeing it, and sent me a new one. The third failed (most likely) because I had a bolt back out of it causing excess vibration and eventually failing the stator and scoring my flywheel slightly (yes, it was locktited).

I guess my assessment is mostly based on my personal bad experience. Your experience may vary. The real downside to RM is stuff has to go through customs and takes a week just to do that, plus actual travel time.

Got one from Ricky Stator and it fried. They tried to up the output and it didn't work, (discontinued that model) but they sent me a new one right away and no problems since then.

Ricky stator also has excellent customer service in my experience.

Ricky Stator is the way to go. The customer service is great, and the stators work just as well as stock. I have used RM Stator as well for an application that no one else supported (lights on an RM-250), and they replaced a DOA stator very fast without issue.

For the DR, Ricky Stator is the way to go!
