i am honored.
.thank u
and i have a few questions regarding the same.

can some one tell me how to find out the copper wire being sold is of 19 guage, and how do i make sure the quality being sold is good?
its wriiten on the spool or the roll of the wire.also if you have a proper measuring caliper there is a outer diameter of the wire by which can tell its which gauge after removing the insulation.

i would want to eliminate the same by purchasing an OEM stator coil of another bike for the wire, which would ensure a 19 guage wire size and quality. And buy the rest of the OEM items as mentioned earlier.
one small prob mate.no oem coil will have 19 gauge wire.rest is ok,as your time will be saved also the bike will have no down time.also a winded wire when stripped out can have some cracks on its insulatin which can result is short.better to use brand new wire,oe even better use the help of professionals.

or if there is another way of ensuring a 19 guage size and quality wire procurement, i mean if there another brand of wire seller or some way do tell me.

and if some one can explain the procedure of winding the wire, just so that, i can be sure the eletrician is doing the job right. at least the donts if not the dos regarding the same would be the same.
simple,first pole clockwise,second is anti clock,then clock,then anti clock............
here is a picture,the only diff is you have all 8 poles toplay with...so the job is simple in apaches then pulsars....

wind neatly as possible.....see


thank you for all the help in advance.
