Guest Pete McCrary Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Could someone please give me the details of exactly what the stator upgrade/recall was on the '02 models. I bought mine used and cannot locate the original owner so I don't know if it was done or not. Is there an easy way to check? What exactly gets replaced - just the stator winding portion or the "flywheel" type device also? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baileyrock Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 The Service Bulletin/Recall ended last Oct. Good for 5 years only. They replaced both the flywheel & windings with a version that has the exact same "output", but just starts fully charging at a lower RPM. Like most of these Recalls/SB's they add a punch make around the VIN. plate with each job having a different location. Your Dealer should be able to tell you each and every item done based on your VIN. # :thumbsup: I never got mine done and have 55k miles on it so far. :idea3: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Thanks Bailey. I'll check out my VIN plate for any markings tonight. I went on Ron Ayers.com just to look at the parts and they do show an upgraded part number for the stator but the flywheel part number didn't change.

I think the current part # is what all 03-up VFR's got and the upgrade to the 02. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 It's about $173. Just checked my VIN plate and there are no marks of any kind on it. I'm like you, I've never had any charging problems. I have ordered a VFRness to install while I have the bike apart for winter upgrades ('99 headers, PAIR valve, ditched the charcoal cannister, installing tapered roller bearings in the steering stem, etc). Working on installing a Stebel right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtlecreek Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 pete, you probably have seen the post, but you need to take it in for the rear subframe recall for 02's and for the front wiring harness recall to prevent the blue connector melt down.

Guest Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Turtle: I got the recall notice from Honda for the front wiring harness. This is the first I've heard about the rear sub-frame. What problem does it have? This is the fourth late model Honda I've had ('01 Goldwing, '03 ST1300, '04 ST1300, & the '02 VFR). Honda sure does issue a lot of recalls. Are they being overly cautious or is their quality on the down slope? Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
