VFR80025th Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 The bike has been flawless. To begin the year I have installed a set of Road 5s and a new Yuasa YTZ12s Previous battery was fine but it was 4 years old and PO put in a no name battery. I say your coming out. No Stator issues no burnt wiring (RR). Nothing. Can these Stator issues and wiring issues (RR) be related to those who ride in the city and all weather conditions. (Rain) I never ride in the rain and never in stop and go. Just open roads and high speeds. So no high heat buildup. Just a thought. Thxs and Ride Safe!

Thxs and Ride Safe! have you actually removed your stator cover to look at the stator and see if it's burnt? or have you checked the RR/Stator connector for indications of melting? this isn't a issue of riding conditions. it's an issue of it will go out eventually.

thepretender Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 I've been told and it seems so that the stator is good for 50000 miles give or take before its baked to failure. Absent electric problems why would you pull the stator cover off with less than 19000 miles on the bike? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VFR80025th Posted May 30, 2019 Author Share Posted May 30, 2019 Thsx guys, but I don't think I'm going to pull stator cover off just to check if its burnt or not. I have talked to many VFR owners who have not had any RR or Stator failures on their machines. (Especially 2006 and onwards.) Some with way over twice the mileage of my VFR. Mmmmmmmm!

I have a 2009 with about 26k Km on the ODO. I'm not the original owner, he rode rain or shine. I tend to avoid the rain cause it takes to too long to detail the bike (mildly OCD). Electricals are still going strong. Like you, i'm not going to take my cover to look though. As of yet, zero symptoms to warrant disassembly.

HighwayStar2009 Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 Good looking RWB! I have 25,000mi on my '09 bought new in 2011. I also don't ride in rain or water wash it. No problems with electricals so far, knock on wood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Dutchy Posted June 1, 2019 Member Contributer Share Posted June 1, 2019 I'd say add voltmeter. Do ride in the rain, with proper gear, fun is still to be had, It beats driving a car.... PS For the small price of a gasket, you easily check your stator....
