another clear correct and complete video. Good lighting, steady video, clear language, no music playing in the background, good tips as you go along. Thanks for posting and keep up the great work !
New subscriber. Jim , heavy equipment mechanic with 40 years experience.
Much appreciated! Glad you liked it.
This is one of the very best vids I've ever watched detailing a very technical repair. Great narration, very thorough, great markers of keeping aware of various assembly situations the "shade tree mechanic" must be aware of. Kudos.
Thanks alot, glad it helped!
@@Rmstatorincyou got a listing for that tool?
Great video , no BS or useless commentary. Thanks
I'm glad I didn't try prying on this case. I have never done this before so I'm following you step by step and You forgot to mention take the 12 mm bolt out of the center then it will pop off
Excellent, thanks!
Thank you for the simple tutorial! Great video
Are there any details on reassembly? I have a manual Trans and looks different looks like all gears and washers need to be installed on the engine side . looking for a detailed gear washer installation. thanks
Excellent video, was able to get my machine running again. The only thing was the center bolt in the middle of the cover you didn't mention taking it out and I fought for an hour and a half trying to get the cover off. I thought that was something holding an internal part. Other than that great video thanks for your help!
Thanks. That was my question before I reefed on it.
lol so did I
Thank you for the very instructional video it helped alot
No problem, glad to help!
You can tip the bike on its right side just past the balance point (then secure it with a rope etc. in that position). You don't have to drain the oil (though it is a good excuse to change it anyway); but for those without a lift it makes working on the think sooo much easier. One drawback is there are tiny openings which disappear inside the engine so plug them with rags or risk losing things in there like the half moon key for the crank (wonder how I knew that :-) luckily was able to fish it out with a magnet).
Very helpful video. Thank you.
Awesome video! I think that's the issue I'm having with my 2004 Eiger.
Good video helped me out sooooo much
Great! Glad to hear it!
Thanks for putting that on here. Just had to buy one of your flywheels as my 2005 AC400 Auto lost its magnets. Don't know how Arctic Cat let this happen in the first place; then shame on them for not doing the right thing and doing a recall for it (or at the very least offering a rebate for the parts if you do it yourself). Just a note that I had a very hard time getting the side cover off; as the gasket was pretty much glued to both sides. Had to make a bracket and use a slide hammer which did the trick. The official manual says much the same thing.
Glad our flywheel solved your problem! The side cover can definitely be stuck on pretty good, especially with the original gasket still installed. Happy to hear you're up and running!
awesome video.
question for you...2000-2001 suzuki lta500 quadmaster.
OEM regulator started smoking, so replaced with an after market regulator...that too severely burnt up....on the second aftermarket regulator today and took temp of the reg at idle (from cold start up ) and after about 1/4 mile trip down the street.
after a minute at idle the temp of the middle most fin was about 130 degrees, after the trip down the street the middle most fin was 170 degrees. I don't know what is normal, but that seems awfully hot.
the ohms between the three yellow wires was
Outside to outside = starts off at .6 then drops down to .4 after a bit.
Outside to middle = starts off at .6 then drops down to .4 after a bit.
second outside to middle = starts off at .6 then drops down to .4 after a bit.
the AC volts at idle were
Outside to outside = 30+
outside to middle = 30+
other outside to middle = 30+
at some unknown RPM where the throttle is half way down (don't have a tach)
outside to outside = 70+ volts
Outside to middle = 65V
other outside to middle = 65V
According to the manual those are within specs. I am afraid I'll burn up another regulator.
thoughts?
That's the best Video I had watched 🎉
Thanks!
Great video. I have a 2000 Arctic Cat 400 atv that seems to be having the same symptoms. I pulled the cover on it and the magnets don seem to be exposed like they are on the one in the video. Do you know if this is applies on this model before I throw money into it. I did test for spark at the spark plug and it does spark. Thanks
Great kit for sure unfortunately mine had a defective crimp on one of the wires for the stator caused me a no start soon after it was installed
Thank you for a very good video I do appreciate that that was awesome do you guys carry the 500 Staters and flywheel to
No problem, glad to hear it helped. What model 500 are you looking for? Our website has our full product listing available.
Question the oem parts diagram shows 2 gaskets for the crankcase cover. Do i need both of them?
Got the kit and puller but fly wheel is not coming off. Any suggestions?
Thought I should add that the bolt that disappears in the video, but must be removed, is a standard right hand thread. Lefty loosey to remove!
make sure you back the piece of at least three revolutions I did only one and the bolt caught the stopped and tightened it down mashing the tip
I have a 2008 arctic cat 366 wont start. Cranks, new carb, has spark. What should I check?
I know this is an older video....and a good one. I have a question for you. I have a 1999 Artic Cat 400. It will start great and idle great. When I put it in gear and increase rpm's it misses like crazy. If I shut it off and restart it will run great for about 10 sec then start missing like crazy again. I have cleaned the carb and replaced the primer diaphram, replaced the diaphram on the high speed vaccume thing, no water in fuel. The carb is an older gravity flow. If it's the stator magnet problem why would it run great part of the time. Thanks
Are you supposed to apply dielectric grease in side the stator wheel?
Thank you, will be buying your kit tomorrow, mine had been running terribly when it got hot then die. So i found the magnets were loose but had not separated from the flywheel, just moved around, no damage to magnets or starter. BUT I have good sized chunks of metal on magnetic drain plug, what could this be from? When the timing went off, could it have broken a valve or something? Thanks again!
That would definitely do it! Hard to say what the metal on the drain plug is from. Could be slivers from magnet, damage around stator area in the case, clutch side, head, etc. Hope you find it!
I have replaced the starter rotor on my 2004 Arctic Cat 400. Yes, magnets fell apart. Put the whole thing back together and forgot to put the clutch in the rotor. Used your video on freeze frame to determine which side goes toward the engine and which faces out. So, anyway, reassembled and replaced oil and filter. Now the starter just clicks. Battery drops from 12.43 to 6 volts when starter held momentarily. Starter turned fine before clutch was installed. (LOL!) Rotor turns counterclockwise -nothing clockwise. Something appears to be binding. So I am wondering about reassembly and gear alignment. I can find nothing on how gears mate together for reassembly. I am concerned about the approx. 1/3 fork assembly point down from the outside casing which I believe mates to the small gear to the top right that only has teeth on 2/3 of it roundness. In essence... got any clues? Thank you in Advance!
How do I know it’s bad ???
Not start ? Noise ? Battery not being charged ??
Need to know to troubleshoot it properly
Thanks for information and advice
Hoping you will answer 😊
That bolt in the middle that mysteriously came out held me up for so long. Have to take that bolt out in the middle of the case about 6 inches long.
Remember if your flywheel moved off a little bit to pull the puller off and see if that inside thread protector is holding it on. That maybe the case of why it won't come off all of the way. You'll take off that protector which only leaves about 3/8 clearance for it to move off and it'll seem your flywheel will just fall off after that.
I have a question. I have a 2006 eiger. Been having problems with glowing exhaust. I've tried . New carb. New vacuum peacock. Adjusted valves . Made sure exhaust want plugged . It will fire up and idle. But soon as u hit throttle it spits and sputters . And quad only has 1200 miles. My question is . Could it be that the problem is my stator or coil or flywheel ??
Thanks
Is having no spark usually the flywheel magnet culprit? Just wondering how to diagnose it's the flywheel. I have the 05 Suzuki Eiger and it was running then died. Fired back up but died quickly.I did have what I call a cough from the carburetor off and on for awhile now. So hopefully it's just a clogged jet, we'll see. Nice to the point video though. 👍
If the magnets move will it effect the engine timing ????
I know it will not change battery but does it change engine timing. ???
Please let me know
Thank You 😊
Excellent videos. My ‘03 Eiger isn’t starting, after troubleshooting carb & fuel system decided it must be magnets. But nope, flywheel and magnets are fine. I am having a problem putting cover back on, advice? Also, any other reasons my Eiger won’t start?
I would recommend fully testing the stator. The position sensor or pickup coil could cause a no spark. You could also have a problem with the CDI box or ignition coil. You can't test the CDI, but can easily test the ignition coil. Good luck!
I’m at my wits end with my 2003 Arctic cat 400 4x4. Starts perfectly and idles perfect. When temps drop below freezing it’ll start perfect and idle forever but if I punch the throttle it’ll cut out. Loses spark. Have to cycle the key to get it to fire again. It eventually stops doing it after a while. It will then run perfect the rest of the day. Please someone help me out. I put a new coil on. No difference.
Do you put red loctite on the housing screw ? What is the torque on those? 11:13
Why some flywheel have magnets others don’t ?? Mine don’t have any . On Amazon some have other don’t as well ??
What gear did you have the atv in when you performed the replacement in this video? My linkage is off by about 3/8" so it does not fall in the notches at the shift handle...therefore will not try to start as I'm sure the neutral switch is not activating. Any tips? Thanks
Try turning the gear shaft until neutral light comes on. Then put your shift knob handle in neutral position, then reattach the link to the shaft amd tighten the clamp bolt.
What is the link for puller?
How its wound - star or delta?
Will this fix a starter that’s free spinning?
Does this puller fit the tgb blade 425 jk yes, please provide the catalog number
What is the name and the part number for the tool to remove the stator
I'm testing my rectifier on diode mode for an 02 eiger, can anyone tell me what kind of readings I should be getting. Thanks.
Please refer to our troubleshooting & diagnostic guide, it details how to test a rectifier that will apply to your Eiger. It is located here:
www.rmstator.com/en_ww/test-and-diagnostic
hello I need help ... my 400 4x4 2005 model does not pass the 6000 rpm and starts to cut and exploits a lot because of the exhaust I do not know what else to do ... change the stater and coil and clean the carburetor and nothing improves
Were your old flywheel magnets in good shape? If they were not in perfect condition, definitely replace the flywheel with our sealed version, as that is a known issue on these models. Also, measure the resistance of the pickup coil. It is the Blue to Green wires in the 4-pin connector. The spec is 200 ohms between the 2 wires. If it is outside of +/- 20% of that measurement, it is likely the problem. Otherwise, you most likely have a failing CDI box causing the issue. Hope this helps!
What size is that puller
Can you tell me the torque value of the nut holding the flywheel on? Also the torque on the bolts that hold the one way clutch to the flywheel? Thjanks
Sorry for the late reply! The flywheel nut is 115.5 lb-ft, or 16.0 kgf-m, or 160 N-m. Sorry I don't have a spec for the one-way clutch bolts.
Well, received the puller and tried taking the flywheel off. It did not budge. Kept trying but now the crankshaft protector has rolled the threads on the crankshaft. The flywheel has not moved. Cannot find any information on size and thread pitch for the crankshaft. Any ideas on how to remove this thing without destroying the engine.
Sounds like wrong tool treads
With pressure on it you might try prying and air hammer
Dang this is a problem 😢
NEED HELP...I have a 04 Eiger 400 that won't go into gear at all.could this be the flywheel?
If the motor runs (even if the flywheel magnets are broken) this is not likely to cause a transmission shifting issue.
I’m confused why the first fly wheel had magnets and the new fly wheel did not?
It does they are one solid piece so they can't move.
The upgraded version has the magnets behind the metal
Are these kits still available? When I click the Suzuki link it says search results not found
Yes, our Eiger kits are available. You can see them all here:
rmstator.com/en_ww/catalogsearch/result/?q=eiger
I recommend you use our make/model/year search to find your exact kit.
Do you have the flywheel and stater for the 2001 400 Eiger? I have the 2003 400 Eiger and they seem identical.
I don't think there was an Eiger in 2001? They began in 2002. Our system should fit all years of the Eiger from 2002-2008. The stator cover gaskets are different between the Auto and Manual transmission models however.
@@Rmstatorinc You are correct, I thought I had a 2001 and a 2003, I have a 2003 and a 2005. Haha! I have had too many quads over the years. Cant keep em straight. Thanks!
Hey what kind of oil goes in them is it 10:40
Where could I find the torque specs for the bolts on the cover? When I go to put that back on. And is there a certain grease to put on before the gasket?
Hi James, the Factory Service Manual will provide all those torque specs. It is very easy to find a PDF version to download online with a bit of Googling. I always use a thin film of Black RTV sealer on both sides of the gaskets, and never have any leaks.
Thank you!
Anytime!
I had to switch the yellow and white wire to get spark on a 2004 Eiger 400
Was this on one of our stators? Thank you for the information. That would be the wires for the position sensor / kickback prevention coil. It does need to be in the correct polarity to allow spark on those models.
Nice video!! What are some good ways to get out any magnetic pieces. Should I put a magnetic drain plug in?
A magnetic drain plug is always a good idea. You can use a small extendable magnet, or a magnet on a wire to fish around the bottom of the crankcase area to pull out pieces of the old damaged flywheel magnets. Definitely try to get them all out!
Thanks for a great video. I just bought your flywheel for m 2004 Eiger LTF400 manual (magnets were off on the old flywheel). Your video led me through until I stuck at tightening the flywheel nut. I don't have the impact wrench with adjustable torque. The wrench to hold the flywheel is not easily accessible at my place. Could you advice what size and model of wrench I should use to tighten the flywheel nut?
An impact gun will generally tighten flywheel nuts securely. You can use a torque wrench to verify this afterwards. You can use a large crescent wrench to hold the flywheel in place while tightening the nut with with a socket wrench or torque wrench to finalize. I believe the nut is a 19mm, but it's been awhile! Hope this helps.
Hello . you just have to replace the flywheel or the whole big kit. Kit Stator + Improved Magneto Flywheel + Regulator Rectifier + Crankcase Cover Gasket RM23044 RM2304 ?
The flywheel is most common part to fail on the Suzuki Eiger / Arctic Cat 400 ATV's. However when the magnets fail they often damage the stator. Because of this, and a decent amount of work to get to the stator/flywheel area in the motor, it is very smart to replace them both at the same time.
@@Rmstatorinc ok.very thanks for the answer !!
No problem!
Hello will this work on a 2003 arctic cat 400 2wd manual shift?
Yes, we have the correct kit for your model on our website.
Anyone have a picture or good video to watch. I took my cover off and two or theee gears fell out along with other parts and I’m not sure I know where they go now. I have an idea but not sure so any help is much appreciated
Sorry this is the only video I have on the Eiger 400. It doesn't show the details up close at any point?
How do the transfer gears line up? Please reply, having trouble, need help0.
Hi, you mean the starter clutch gears? You just need to rotate the clutch on the back of the flywheel a bit until you find the right position, it will slip into place easily.
@@Rmstatorinc the hi /lo/rev gears. Mines a foot shift and when I changed the stator (Rm stator) the transfer gears came off when I pulled the cover. Now it'll either jump out of hi, won't go in rev or not engage at all. I've tried 4 different positions. Thank you for taking the time to reply. You have just gained a loyal customer.
I recently replaced a flywheel for my quad with one of yours and I was very careful to watch for the washers when I pulled the stator cover off (i believe one was on each side of the gear shift gear) but now once i barely snug the case bolts the starter doesnt seem to want to turn the engine over. What am i missing?? I've had it apart 3 times now and getting frustrated....please help!
Did you figure this out?? I am having the same problem
@@gregshank268 no yet, the only thing I can figure as of right now is the gasket I received was the wrong one so I figured I'd use gasket maker (black silicone oil resistant gasket stuff) my thoughts are that possibly the thickness of the gasket is just enough to "shim" it out just a tad. Waiting on my new gasket to see if that helps. Mine is the automatic and it doesn't have as many gears or washers and the manuals do. There are only two washers in mine and I'm pretty certain they're in the right place
Hi Ken, sorry I have never heard of this problem. I've installed many of these kits myself and never had an issue. Our gaskets are the same thickness as OEM, should not be causing that problem. I think you are right on the washers, the video should show that in detail, it's been awhile since I've installed one and I don't recall the exact order. Is the starter clutch on the flywheel meshed well with the starter gear?
I am having that same problem right now, did you figure it out?
I'm having the exact same problem. Starter not working at all just clicking. I did have a washer come off and was not sure where it came from.
Did you get it figured out?
what are the torque specs for the case bolts around the outside and the big one in the middle?
thank you in advance!
Late seeing this , but did you ever figure out specs ? I'm replacing my crankcase cover and can't find specs.
@@tylersysk3945 I didn't I just guessed at 30 in lbs
@@MrMiller123 Thanks. Did that work well ? I think the cover is 8 ft lbs. But what did you do for the long 6 in bolt threw the center ?
Can you please tell me the size of the nut holding the flywheel on?
Caiden Lay I have an 06 and it was 22mm
This sounds about right.
Do you have to buy the fly wheel or can you just replace the stater?
You can do either, but I highly recommend replacing them together! Especially if you have an OEM flywheel in the motor.
I definitely subscribe it
Great!
Why change voltage regulator? I just did this job and it is just clicking and I didn't change the voltage regulator?
And I've charged the battery and left it on a tinder and keep getting the click changed the starter relay etc
Will this kit work on a 2004 Suzuki ltz400
No, only the Eiger models.
Forgot to mention the largest through bolt for the arctic cat that will completely fuck your case if you miss it. Thanks from a passed off customer.
It was the same thing for me i should spend near 500.$ at the garage to find the yellow and white wire had to be switche to spark on.
Where is the model and serial number??
question- I bought one of these flywheel kits and I have the flywheel, stator and pick up coil installed. There is bit on the description online where I ordered the kit that says you must adjust the air gap between the flywheel and the pick up sensor by rotating the flywheel and using a feeler guage to find .010". How does one do this? In order to rotate the the flywheel and get a guage in there the side cover must be off. But the pick up sensor is bolted to the side cover.
I have the same question, by chance do you have the answer?
I have the same question as well.
Did you have any trouble putting the cover back on because you didnt show that part and I cant get my cover back on
grant henneous did you get your side cover back on? I can’t get mine on either
Yeah so the problem is that on the left side of the cover theres a pin that doesnt stay straight (it's part of a gear I think) and you have to use something to put it back into the slot on the cover and you should be good to go
I’m bout try putting it on again I’ll let you know if get it
Sounds good
Got the side casing back on but now the starter is just clicking before I put the side casing on I checked the starter and it turned the motor over
nesecito una planta d la inger 400 año 2005 la tiene
Just pulled apart my 03 400 4x4 with no spark and found 2 loose magnets- OEM parts is $1400...what a joke.
trout004 I got the parts from rmstator for about $375..
I purchased mine from the same place. RMSTATOR
Grab our replacement flywheel, much cheaper and better than the OEM part!
That doesn't look like a dvx or lt 400
