I haven't tested the stator yet. We tried to get the rotor off but didn't have any luck. Could someone point me to a procedure to ohm it out?

Thanks

Problem Solved:

Symptoms that led us to the problem were intermittent spark or no spark. Sometimes you would hit the start button and get just one spark. We pulled the rotor and discovered the stator wires were cut by the rotor. How did this happen you may ask? I had the lower end rebuilt 2 years ago by the polaris dealer and the mech did not run the wires into the back of the housing and left them exposed enough to rub slightly against the rotor. I do recall that over the last few months the bike would idle rough on startup but would come out of it after riding for a few minutes.

Glad you finally found it
So, were you able to save the stator and save some money?

When you fix/repair teh wires, make sure you line up the marks on the stator plate and housing

I was able to save the stator. We marked the pulser before we pulled it. It runs like a champ now.

Thanks everyone for their input.
