if you do drop the bike on the stator side and damage it , the 929 tends to chip/crack at the mounting point on the block causing oil leaks that are a bitch to fix

 

+1 on that one

 

yeah i had to replace my stator. i also had to replace my wiring harness for my lights. was goin on a night ride at 1100 and all of a sudden they didn't work. maybe it was a sign?? that was prolly just my bike. i'm confident they prolly don't go bad on too many others.

 

A decent set of frame sliders should cure this. They've saved mine twice.
