Message: [QUOTE="dirt bike dave, post: 673922, member: 18302"] Stator failure is common on the older KDX's.  Mine failed on my '84, a friends failed, and I've read about many others on this board. You can have it rewound (or rewind it yourself) for much less than the cost of replacement. When mine went bad, the bike started getting harder to start, even with a fresh plug, good gas, etc...  Eventually, it was nearly impossible to start.  When anyone says their old KDX is having electrical trouble, I immediately think it's stator troubles.  IMO, the OEM sator just doesn't last forever.
