ok so the sled is at the shop and i have to bring all the tools there and its far enough away that it would be greatly appreciated if i knew what i was getting into...
where the hell is the stator on this thing (01 srx) im guessing behind the recoil?
whats needed for the job?
and finally i have a big trip wedsnesday so how long will this take ( or should it take lol?)
any help would be awesome it sucks having the sled so far away...

A shop manual is needed.
This is not a complicated procedure but it takes the proper tools and if you don't have them and know how to use them it would be better left to a qualified shop/mechanic or you could end up with more problems then you started with!
Info:
-the stator sits behind the recoil and behind the flywheel
-the recoil must first be removed which requires the exhaust and a portion of the frame to be removed first
-the flyweel must be removed which requires a "FlyWheel Puller" the exact puller for your flywheel must be used or the flywheel will be damaged.
-the stator is held in place by screws that can be very hard to get out and easy to strip...again proper tools required.
-the flywheel will require a torque wrench when being reinstalled

The bolts in the flywheel strip very easily (They are allens) and often require a hammer and chisel to knock them loose. The screws in the stator are a sort of squared off phillips and will strip easily if you do not have the right bit

One tip from experience of mine to add.
If you have the stator pickup off, and when you go to put it back on, make sure when you put it back on that you loctite the screws. It falls off sometimes, and will leave you stranded. Trust me.

just did mine
take out the pipes
remove the muffler (one nut)
remove the crosspiece
remove the recoil cover
Then the fun part, getting the recoil catch removed from the flywheel. The three allen screws are loctited in there. The threads are only on the riveted on spacer but the loctite makes them hard to get off. You could use leverage but the allen wrench would bend, twist or strip out the head. I used an oxy-acetylene torch to heat the screws, then I moved the heat around the outside of the head and then to the outside of the spacer where the threads are. It didn't take much heat but mine wouldn't have come out without the heat.
After that comes off, next is getting the flywheel off. You need a 3 bolt puller. It has a yoke and a threaded rod in the middle and 3 slots for bolts. You'll need 3 bolts, I think M6x1.5 with a 25mm length. Someone correct me if I'm wrong there.
It took everything the puller had to get mine off. I had a 250r crankshaft that mushroomed at the end where the puller is because of the force needed to remove it. They don't use antiseize on the crankshaft at the factory and it rusts around the keyway after a decade or two. When I put mine back together I put some antiseize on it to help remove it in the future.
Next is getting the 3 screws that hold the stator on. Mine were stuck and needed an impact driver to get them off. Another way to get them off is to grab onto the head with a pair of vice grips. Then remove the other screws holding the plate and outside pickup. I replaced the screws with allen screws. I feel they hold a higher torque whereas the phillips rounds the head off. I put some blue loctite on all the screws holding the stator, plate and pickup. Don't want something vibrating loose in there!
Since you have the recoil off might be a good time to replace the recoil rope. There's a howto somewhere around this site on how to do that.

thanks alot
so the puller will pull on the bolts that i will screw into the flywheel??
