MAGNETO ASSEMBLY
Structure
The magneto is composed of the stator assembly (star-pattern of copper-wound spools),
the charging coil, and the magnetic Pickup coil.
This assembly is located inside the RH crankcase cover, behind the cooling fan and
flywheel.
Function
The stator acts as the primary charging source for the vehicle’s battery. Current flows
from here to the diode trio, and from the diode trio to the regulator to be distributed. The
charging coil and pickup function as CDI references for ignition pulse and timing.

NOTE: Testing for all resistance is verified on ground side of circuit. There is no
capacitor in the stator assembly. KEEWAY America encourages replacement of the
entire magneto assembly when any component is faulty.
