Motorbike stator question
Discussion
Hi All,
I have a bit of a technical question that I cannot find the answer to. I have a 4 stroke 200cc engine that is based on a gy6 engine, but has bee modified quite a bit.
When the engine is in use it does not supply enough power to keep the battery charged. i.e. it will run correctly for about 15 - 20 mins max with every thing switched on.
I have spoken to the manufacturer and they say (although I am going to check) that they only fit a 6 pole stator as standard and that because the fly wheel is custom made, they cannot supply me (at least not at a resonable cost - £500 - 700 + vat, they claim they would need to get special magnets made.) with an 11 pole stator which I believe would fix or at least improve the problem.
So the questions I have are.
1. I assume that a 6 pole stator has 6 magnets in the fly whhel is this correct?
2. I have seen 8 pole stators with 8 magnets in the fly wheel, so this logic seems to make sense. However I have also seen 11 pole stators with 8 magnets on the fly wheel - how does this work?
Assuming I can get an 11 pole stator to fit in the gap and wired up correctly will it work with a 6 magnet flywheel?
If not - assuming I could get it machined to hold extra magnets, can I just get extra magnets added to the fly wheel, and is the spacing critical. And how many would give the highest output- I am guessing 11?
My feeling is that it would be much cheaper to by a ready made flywheel and dismantle / break it to get the magnets out and then just fit them to the modified flywheel.
Thanks
Any thoughts?

I am not sure if you are trying to be funny, or if you posted an incorrect link. I have spend many hours searching fo an answer and could not find one.But to clarify I know that I can get an eleven pole stator, and regulator / rectifier that would work on a gy6. This is not a GY6 engine it is just very similar. (Yeas ago was the starting point) the flywheel is very different to the GY6 one.
And I am basically trying to figure out if it is possible to have the fly wheel altered by adding the extra magnets, and if so how many do I need to add, and position.
But to do that I need to UNDERSTAND the relationship between stator windings and flywheel magnets.
Thanks Again
This man may be able to help, his name is Sean and he's really very clever
