Good timing on these videos! actually looking to go an buy one soon! I had a Gen 1 Tuono (04) and a Gen 3 Tuono ('11 V4) So feel like I need to complete the set now!
Davey will it do any damage if you start the engine with the new oil in the tank but not yet around the engine ? If so would you just unplug the coils and let it crank over a few times to get some around first before actually proper start ? Cheers
Apparently the only way to get a longer term fix for the stator is to use the lower voltage flywheel. I believe the standard model is around 500v and the "updated" model is closer to 350v.
Hi mate how long did your original and then new stator last, and please can you tell me where did you get your smart little chain wear check tool. I'm still in love with my 2008 RSV factory, even though I must have spent more time spannering on it than actually riding it......👍
I think you're confusing your volts with your watts my friend, I think the failures are more due to the build quality of the stators. Are these Chinese replacements wound with copper wire or cheaper copper coated aluminium wire, they're certainly not varnish coated like the originals. Mine has recently failed at 16 years and 34,000 miles..... I intend to rewind the original myself, it can be done !
It's the rollers that really need the lube, for when they're contacting the sprockets. The outers of the plates shouldn't really need lubing as they're not doing a great deal
After 3 days at Another Fine Piaggio product...mine won't start either. But why did you have to use brake cleaner eventually to gey it going ? Surely everything had been done to make it go on its own?....
Next time you need to replace a stator connector (s) consider getting some high current RC bullet connectors . www.banggood.com/search/bullet-connectors.html
The issue is the pre 2008 rotor was a 500W flywheel. The replacement part is 370W. The extra power generated by the 500W unit cannot be dissipated by the reg/rec so gets converted to heat which then kills the stator.
Excellent work so far!
yep i'd call that a win mate - so far so good! cant wait to see the ride out video.....
thanks.

Not a bad idea to spin it around on the starter first, but assuming the engine isn't dry from a full rebuild, it should be fine starting it.
@@obsession_engineering thanks davey 👌
I'm pretty sure there is none manual choke on gen 2 staf. My tent to die on cold starts, if I don't give it a little gas.Wunder how to sort that out?
Hooray!! It lives!!

Keep watching, there's a tuono update coming soon!!

Oiling a chain I only oil the links not the rollers, right or wrong? Great videos by the way!

Really enjoying this series, as well as your previous Ducati series. Can you tell me where you got that chain stretch measuring tool? Thanks!
B+C Express do them (but not listed on their website)
@@obsession_engineering Excellent! Thanks for the tip!
Yaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyy!!!
Did you use the manual choke when trying to start it from cold?
I didn't even know it had a choke!
Was it a OEM stator? heard the cheap ones don't last
The burnt out one was oem, the replacement was a cheap pattern copy but still going strong, especially as I've had the rotor modified since

I think it'd just forgotten how to be a motorbike, no real reason other than being italian :)

Resurrection!
Wonder why the stators fail. Are they a marginal design?
Possibly when the connector goes bad and the stator cant dissipate its generated voltage/current it converts it to heat !! Just my 2 cents
They aren't the best design, the later bikes had a different part but it's an expensive mod
The issue is the pre 2008 rotor was a 500W flywheel. The replacement part is 370W.
The extra power generated by the 500W unit cannot be dissipated by the reg/rec so gets converted to heat which then kills the stator.
Surely cutting the connector is only fixing the symptom. I.e. the real issue being the stator rated too highly.
Good series anyways .
