Wait until I get home and have a chance to post the video. The first can went right into the SpaceX program

Yeah, that mezcal was a bit of a 999.  Not meant for ordinary riders.

Sorry I missed this year.  Glad everyone seemed to have fun as usual.

Of note: if you ever get the chance to see you favorite band at the Sphere (in Vegas), go.  Amazing venue.  It is almost as fun as watching beans explode.  Almost...

I want to perform the test that is black on ground, in this case the cover or other suitable ground (please suggest where) and the three yellows. I have the digit 1 in the multimeter display. It does not change while doing the test.

Didn't we/someone settle on 0.6 ohm as a good result? The Electrosport mentions much higher numbers.

Bom dia.  Getting there (not really). I follow an expat group on the socials since its been on my radar anyway - you never know if we'll bump into each other at the bar de venhos.   

I'm not understanding your yellow to ground 1   Stater windings to the body of the stator should be infinity.

All I can think of with the starter is a combination of engine oil and debris, but I don't see a path for it to happen.

Maybe we should call koko64 to the red phone?

I don't know what to look for, but near where the wire goes through the starter shell, the oil looks more like grease - grey stuff that isn't possible to see through.

Stator was new last year. So was the starter. R/R too.

Water killed the starter, the mechanic thinks. Water in the starter = water in the stator?

Any idea why I can't get results from ground to yellows? Shows 1 and does not change. From several spots in the cover and on/by the stator.

Bypass both switches  Just disconnect each connector and jump the two wires.  Still stalls you will need to do further diagnosis. 

OK, Ducati has no spec for stator resistance.  You want to see continuity and equal resistance.  The number will be low.  Cover on or off doesn't matter.  Did you test stator output?  Each yellow wire should produce 28 -33 volts at about 3000rpm.

Now that I think about your photo, even if everything tests OK, at some point the lacquer that insulates the winding is crispy and will eventually fail.  I wouldn't want it to fail on my trip to Italy.  Less than $200 from Ricks   https://ricksmotorsportelectrics.com/l/aftermarket-stators

Good morning
