How To Change Stator In 2012 Heritage Softail

Well my stator is out and then the bike is going in to the shop for the R&R. What I need to know is how many store hr does Hd charge to exercise the stator R&R, the reason I need this info is under the Hard disk drive ESP the stator R&R is covered so I but have to pay the $50 deductible, but sense the inner & outer principal is already torn down and put together on Hard disk money I am looking into having the drive belt replaced at this time and just paying the extra in parts and labor, the drive belt has 50K on it so this would be the best time IMO, I just need to detect out what the fair accuse in labor cost would be to R&R the rear tire & swing arm associates.
HMMMM, I bet Chopper has a flat charge per unit book:southward

Is the drive belt damaged? How many miles on the belt?
I was thinking that if someone had this R&R done at a HD dealer that the labor cost would be on the receipt.
A niggling over 50,000 on the belt, no damage that I am enlightened of just thinking that sense Hard disk is paying to tear the primary down and put information technology dorsum together that it would exist the best time to do this preventive maintenance. If the belt breaks because of wear at a later time then I would have to pay for the complete R&R.
To supplant the drive belt is more so you are thinking. To modify the stator you tin cheat a bit sometimes and not accept the clutch out. To change the bulldoze belt involves removing the clutch and the inner primary cover and so removing the rear wheel associates and and lower stupor mountain then dropping the swing arm. I bet a good tech tin practice a stator change in less and then 3 hours and a belt change would accept 6 or 7 hours. If your belt has been properly maintained it should go over a 100,000 easily.

According to the 08 touring service manual the inner primary has to be removed to access the stator so if that is the case the clutch would come up off anyways.
Here's is Harley's times & codes for a 2008 FLT, this is what harley pays when it'southward warranty work done in the first ii years and ESP pays the shop 1.25 times the warranty rated hrs. under their plan.
Note: All codes include diagnostic time and replacement time.

Replace secondary belt Time Lawmaking 2011 Hrs. 3.7
Diagnose charging arrangement (open grounded stator) Time Code 5312 Hrs. 1.8
This is what the dealer gets from Harley and 1.25 times the labor if the Harley warrant has pasted and the work is done nether your ESP program, merely if you walk in off the street and the money is coming out of your pocket expect to pay 3 hrs. for a stator replacement and 4-6 hrs. for a belt replacement. Thats what I charge also and feel it'southward off-white because that about how long it takes me to practise the work, acourse dealer techs move faster then I practise considering their on apartment rate, and younger. lol
This is the way I await at it, information technology takes a certian amout of time to do the stator repair which include the R&R of both the outer and inner main. It takes certain amount of fourth dimension to do a drive belt R&R, the only departure would exist the rear cycle R&R and the swing arm R&R which I would recall would non have over 1 60 minutes labor fourth dimension, the resone I recall this is a off-white estimente of the fourth dimension is that in that location are only 2 main bolts 1 through the axle and 1 through the swing arm granted the tranny demand to exist supported and the deejay brakes need to be removed freom the swing arm only the brake line doesn't have to disconnected. I don't mind pay a fair price for the work being washed to my bike I just don't want to be taken advantage of.
Asking the dealer to do extra when they are already working in the surface area might surprise you with actress charges.
I had fourth gear go out on my '02 Sportster. Zilch in the service manual that sounded similar my trouble and then I took the bike in for repair at my dealer. Nothing wrong in 8 years then I thought that was pretty good.

They tore downwards the tranny and had all the parts on the cart for me to see, including the gear and all the recovered gear parts that went bad. (Looked like material failure in the gear. You could see little cracks deep in the gear.)

The clutch was removed to work on the tranny and was sitting on the cart with everything else.
I made a comment of "I wonder how the clutch looks?" Afterwards all, I had 40K on the bike.
Service manager said it would but take 5 minutes to check it. Sounded good to me, afterwards all, it was already removed as office of the gear replacement and was sitting on the cart.

Looking (inspecting they called it) became some other work process and going by the manual, I was charged $93 for that "5 minute look".

I questioned the charge only didn't get very far. I'll be careful adjacent time to non allow them open some other piece of work procedure. I've been lucky as the tranny gear was 1st thing that e'er went wrong.

Oh yes.... the original clutch was fine and placed back into the bike. If I'd known that, I would take bought a new clutch pack if they were charging for the piece of work operation.

Best to continue in the same work operation and maybe non deviate from the warranty work as it may allow actress charges to you.
All depending on your dealer.....
