Hello I have a 2002 triumph 955i. It has about 11,000 miles on it and I have now been dealing with the stator wires and plug melting. I have new battery and new r/r. I also have a new main fuse. Any help would be nice…

The connection between the stator and R/R has to be secure and tight as far as the connector pins, the wire crimping of the terminals and pins, etc. If there is a poor or loose connection, improper wire and terminal gauge size, you will get increase in resistance which results in heat and melting. In terms of soldering instead of using a connector, you have to know how to intertwine the wire strands to get a proper solder connection involving all of the strands of the cable. Otherwise a cold joint will occur and once again, increase in resistance. The same goes for knowing how to do a proper crimp. Did the new R/R come with a factory connector to mate up with the stator half? Sometimes the factory uses wire gauge and connectors that aren't the best to save money in production.

As Steve Ford said hardwiring by soldering to remove the connector works perfect, make sure you do a good job I covered each wire with heat shrink tubing then a larger dia heat shrink to cover all 3 wires look pro if done well, did it on my Daytona it never caused a problem in over 20K miles as said above read this post.

If you're going to re-wire the rectifier/regulator yourself, you might want to look at the starter power upgrade job at the same time.
Made a noticeable difference ( bike turns over faster on start ) to my bike ( 2002 dssa 955i ) once the 3 cables were upgraded.
