Two things
1) you do not have the transfer case bolts tight enough meaning that you are not setting them to torque specs.
2) Most likely - You have a leak somewhere else that you are thinking is coming from the transfer case. I would remove all the excess oil from the motor by cleaning it with some type of degreaser and then checking to see exactly where the leak is originating from.Most of the time with motorcycles due to the fact that the engine is getting so much air when riding, your leak will tend to travel making you think that a leak is somewhere else rather then where it is really at.
I have a 97 535 Yamaha virago that I jest bought. I was having a problem with the battery dieing on me while I was riding so I put a new battery in it and I'm still having the same problems. I know that it ether has to be the stator or the regulator, so I pulled the side covers off and started looking at the wiring and notice the harness that connects the two together was burnt to hell.... so bad that you cant tell what wire goes where.
I need some good advise..... You have 3 wires coming out of the stator and the voltage regulator, which none of them are marked to know the difference between the 3 wires.... Will it matter or can I put them back in any order???
Thanks
Can you check the voltage on them with a volt meter?you have to put them back in a certain order
If the bike is starting then you have things in the right order. If it is not starting then you have the wires crossed. The wire to the starter solenoid should only have voltage when you are trying to start the bke. The power to the positive terminal on the starter should have voltage always
Its the same thing basically, I am sorry that I got the name of the part wrong by accident. But there is not any exact order. If you have power to it, and ground then it is good..

Yes..... I should be able to check them with a volt meter. What do I need to do to make sure they are in the right order? Thanks for all your help!!!!

I have checked the battery with a voltage meter first while the bike is off and it reads 11.3, then while the bike is running and it reads 12.6 or somewhere around there, so it is getting a charge. I'm jest not sure what order to hook the wires coming out of the stator to the regulator in. Is there a way to tell if I have hooked them up in the right order?
Thanks for your help!!!!
Not the starter the stator inside the transfer case, It has 3 wire that come out of it and connect to the wires coming out of the voltage regulator, which is normally connected with a wire harness but the wire harness bunt up as I said before .
Not the starter the stator behind the transfer case.
