Had the same problem with the KX stuff and my PVL. And all these after market stators are complete junk IMO. Water is the killer, and nearly impossible to to stop from getting in there. This is what I did to prevent the water as best as I could....fresh stator cover gasket with a light coating of anarobic grease, silicone the rubber plug to the inner case side only, so when you pop off the stator cover it doesnt pull out the rubber plug. I drilled and tapped a nipple on the top of the stator cover and connected a rubber hose running up the frame to help with the heat and for the water to evaporate. After I had all these troubles....i always pop the stator cover off after washing my machine to dry it out.

Damn, I'd hate to drop $400 on a PVL only to have it crap out. What ignition are you using now?

Any trained mechanic will tell you to never use silicone in repcacement for gaskets. Always use a OEM or aftermarlet gasket.

Ever put a intake manifold on a SBC? Silicone has its place...

I was using the KX set up (flywheel/cdi/stator). Problem there was, I could never find a good OEM KX stator, so I had to try the aftermarkets, and they always crapped out. I then went with the PVL set up and only had one problem with it once. As I stated on the last post, I washed my trike and got water inside the stator cover. It burned out the PVL system.....thank the lord PVL honored the one year warranty, and sent me a new one. Since then using the methods I stated above, have never had a problem. I wouldn't run anything else at this point.....the system is very easy to install, and the timing can be fined tuned to your specific needs. As far as the silicone debate goes, just silicone the rubber plug to the inner case and around the gap where the wiring goes threw the rubber plug. It is impossible for silicone to get into the internals of the motor as the stator location isnt connected to anything internally.

You hit the nail right on the head....!
