Stator Cover

I have not long changed my bike from a triumph rocket 3 to a 54 plate tiger 955i.
I need to change the stator and rectifier as they are not charging battery. I watched a couple of YouTube videos on this and seems an easy job but there is a flexible hose (looks like a water hose but it can't be) connected to my stator cover that wasn't in the videos I watched! Can anyone tell me what that hose is??
Thanks

 

Hi Neil

 

Hi Helmut, you got any ideas on what I am talking about?I think it's a breather hose!

 

Sorry mate, no clue but am sure someone will be along soon who does.

 

Hi and welcome…

 

Hi Neil and welcome to the forum good luck finding out if it is a breather. I couldn’t see a hose in the breakout drawings WOT

It's probably the stator output wiring , when it passes through/under the cover , it is enclosed in a rubber tube for a few inches.
On some models of Triumph's it can also be part of the ignition system , the timing sensors can be enclosed in the same area....

Welcome to the family. Just hit the upload a file button bottom right corner and show of the beastie. And send some closer pictures of the offending pipe.

Hi Joe, will take close up of the pipe tomorrow. I am not near it at the moment! Here is the bike.

Actually you can see the pipe on that photo! I am sure it must just be a breather ?

 

Hi @neil black , if the hose you are referring to is in the second photo, coming out at one o'clock with yellow tag on it , that is most likely the stator output wiring.

 

Hi Joe I have tried to add an arrow to show the one I mean.

 

That one looks like a coolant hose ? Does it get hot ??? Or if it doesn't get warm/hot as engine temperature ️ rise's. It maybe a breather hose but most likely a coolant hose.

 

Well I am going to get into it today so will find out. It really can't be a coolant hose going into stator housing. My guess is a breather.

 

Hello Neil and welcome to the forum
