I am a current owner of a 2002 honda motorcycle vfr800 . in late july of 2007, i was returning home on the freeway and my motorcycle simply stopped running, with the lights on the dash going out and all power leaving the motorcycle. it was a very unsafe condition. as i was trying to make it to the side of the road the cars immediately behind me almost ran into me, it was so sudden. a very dangerous situation. after testing the battery, i determined that the battery was dead. going to an on-line vfr forum group, and using their test methods i was also able to determine that the stator/ generator was not producing any current for the bike and that this bike may have been involved in a recall of that part. when i called honda motorcycle, i was informed that my vin # was outside the recall in spite of the fact that it failed. since i use my bike to go to work, i had to order the generator kit and install it myself at a great expense to me of time and money. i question whether your data is accurate in determining whether my motorcycle should have been recalled for this fix. in addition, i feel that honda should reimburse me at the very least for the cost of new stator/ generator i had to purchase, $160.59, copy of receipt available. i retained the old part and pictures of the part immediately after i took it out. i have written the above information directly to honda as well. *tr | |||
