INTRO: Banshee owners looking to retard or advance the timing of their motor will most likely add an aftermarket adjustable stator plate, which replaces the stock fixed location stator plate. They are more secure than "degree keys" and offer adjustability which degree keys do not, but are also about four times the price. The one we will be installing allows for the pick-up coil to be adjusted without removal of the flywheel after installation compared to similar units where the pick-up coil is in a fixed position on the stator plate, and the flywheel must be removed so the entire stator plate can be rotated and adjusted to the desired timing. Whichever one you have, the installation instructions below will accomodate both units.
STEP ONE: First off, you need to remove your footpeg, shift lever, and stator side cover. Re-install the shift lever after the stator side cover is removed so you can shift in and out of gear if necessary. When all that is done and the flywheel is revealed, it's time to remove the flywheel nut. Using an air-impact wrench is suggested, but it can be done manually with a ratchet and socket. It will be hard to loosen due to the flywheel wanting to turn. Shifting it into gear and having someone apply the rear brake will help, but it can still be difficult.
STEP TWO: After you have the flywheel nut removed, it's time to remove the flywheel. You really need to use the proper tool for this, which is a "flywheel removal tool", like the one in the picture. Thread the flywheel removal tool into the flywheel (counter-clockwise) untill it stops, and then proceed to screw in the bolt (clockwise) of the flywheel removal tool until the flywheel breaks free and can be removed by hand.
STEP THREE: It's time to remove the stator itself. Simply remove the three phillips-head screws that hold the stator to the stator plate, and move the stator to the side out of the way. Don't lose the screws.
STEP FOUR: Next step is to remove the pick-up coil from the stator plate. Using a phillips-head screwdriver, remove both of the screws as shown in the picture. You can discard the screws since you won't need them with the new stator plate.
STEP FIVE: Now you can remove the 3 bolts that retain the stator plate. The bolts also have phillips-head slots in them, but most likely you will need to use a 12mm socket since they can be a little rusted and hard to remove. Again, don't lose the bolts, you will need them.
STEP SIX: With the stator plate in your hand, turn it over to the backside and remove the two small phillips-head screws that are used to hold down the wire retainers. You will need to use both screws and retainers on the new unit.
