i believe that is correct but they make a "poorboy" kit that might be better.try a search in the search box or look on the A-Z on the right side of the screen

From personal (and expensive) experience, I can tell you the motor has to come out!

you should pull the motor, remove the rear cover, install a new stator, or like I did, keep going, and take a year and a half to put the motor back together again.

Ended up pulling mine twice, first stator was bad from factory, :doh:I got good at it too! Just remember to snip off the connector and hard wire the whole mess

Have them make sure it is the stator and not just the connector burned up. It's likely it is the stator but there is the possibility it is not.

Stator issues are the biggest downside to the 1200's.
