I've talked to a few people who have 1000RRs and thier stators are going bad at 15,000 miles or less.Has anyone else heard of this happening? I haven't seen any recalls for this yet.

 

No Bulletins on it yet !! But there has def been a problem I think someone has a list to put your name on I can't find it at the moment but I will look and re-post !! This is the second post in a week on these staters !!Mine went out at 4500 miles one month after my factory warrenty ran out but I got the extendend thank God!! lol !!

 

mine went out @ 15k

it does happen but far from proportions that would warrant a recall

 

YOU PEOPLE NEED A BATTERY TENDER

 

Why ? a Battery Tender will not fix this.

 

Yeah battery tender!! Good answer MgA LOL[sm=exactly.gif]

 

yes... please enlighted how a battery tender would help this problem...

 

I've posted before that this stator problem have hit Singapore a long long time ago and its so rampant!!
At that time, the US have not been hit so ppl juz brush it off..
Now looks like the US have been bugged by the problem..
Ppl in Singapore have been pestering the Honda agent and now they allow1 to 1 exchange of the stator together with the flywheel when your stator gets burntduring the warranty period.

 

Alright let me enlighten you how this works.Lets say you ride your bike one day and then you don't ride your bike for maybe a week.What happens is your battery voltage level drops due to the absence of a battery tender.When this happens your stator then has to work overtime in order to run your bike, unlike a cars alternator, your bikes electrical system requires a well charged battery in order to keep running. Thats why when your battery dies your bike dies.So continually overcharging stators will eventually burn up.

Oh yeah you could also lower your battery level by being stuck in traffic or not running your bike at or near 5000 rpm which is when your stator actually outputs the correct power.

 

This may not be the end all fix all but its a damn good start.
