Overview

The Stator Gasket for the Yamaha Big Bear 350 YFM350 (2X4: 1987-1998 / 4X4: 1990-1997) is a vital component designed to ensure a proper seal between the stator and the engine case. This gasket plays a crucial role in preventing oil leaks and maintaining the integrity of the engine's electrical system. Engineered specifically for these Big Bear 350 models, it is essential for both routine maintenance and addressing any issues related to the stator assembly.

Functionality

The stator gasket's primary function is to create a tight seal around the stator, which is part of the ATV’s charging system. By providing a secure barrier between the stator and the engine case, the gasket helps prevent oil and other contaminants from leaking out of the engine. This sealing is crucial for maintaining proper oil levels and ensuring the electrical components, including the stator, function correctly. A well-sealed stator assembly also helps to avoid potential electrical failures and damage caused by oil leaks or contamination, ensuring that the ATV's charging system operates efficiently.

Compatibility and Maintenance

This stator gasket is specifically designed to fit Yamaha Big Bear 350 YFM350 models, including the 2X4 variants from 1987 to 1998 and the 4X4 variants from 1990 to 1997, ensuring a precise fit and reliable performance. Regular maintenance should involve checking the gasket for signs of wear or damage, such as cracks or deformation. Proper installation of the gasket is crucial to maintaining a good seal and preventing leaks. If the gasket becomes worn or damaged, replacing it with this new part will help ensure that your Big Bear 350 remains in good working condition, preventing oil leaks and supporting the efficient operation of the engine’s electrical system
