Does anybody have a writeup on how to replace the stator?

Its very easy. Just pull the stator cover off and its self explainitory.

Is the stator cover the one on the left side of the engine when the rider is sitting on the bike?

yes

ok, thank you for your help

your welcome. Good luck

This is all from memory, so I may miss something.

Tools Required:
5mm Allen Wrench
#2 Phillips Screwdriver
1 Drill Driver with #2 Phillips bit

Optional:
1lb Can of Elbow Grease
2lbs of Luck
1 Hammer
Assorted Vise Grips


Steps:
1. Disconnect the 2 pig tails from the wire harness
2. Remove the screw holding down the stator harness (8mm socket?)
3. Remove the outside stator cover screws (5mm Allen Wrench)
4. Remove stator cover evenly away from bike.
5. Remove the Phillips screws. I highly suggest using a good size drill with a hammer drill type function or clutch. Set mid range and keep moving higher until screws are removed. Replace all phillips headed screws with allen (socket) headed screws. Trust me!
5a. After you've stripped out all of the phillips headed screws, take a whack or 2 at the nearest wall with the hammer. Use any and all vise grips to remove the screws.
6. Apply generous amount of elbow grease and remove the 3 socket headed screws that hold the magneto in place.

Reverse for installation.

Do i need to remove anything to get to the harness?

I don't think so. It might be tied up with wire ties or something.
