| Durring light traffic (stop-and-go) and low-rpm operation of the motorcycle (highway speeds in high-gear), the stator windings over heat and short. this causes the electrical system to drain the battery until the elecrtical and lighting systems fail completely. the stator was replaced with a brand new oem part by a certified technician at the servicing dealership, but the same mode of failure and results happened again later in the same year (august 2010) at 7000 mi on the odometer. | |||

| 1. riding under normal conditions 40-90 degrees out of the blue i get a system-voltage across my speedometer screen. 2. when the system voltage comes on i have no idea how fast i am going, i have no gages, and most important i have no turn-signals. this has happened to me 8 times in one year. dearing these 8 times my speedometer and turn signals have been rendered useless. i have about been hit 3of the 8 times due to scenarios like this one which i was about killed. i put my arm up to turn right, the car behind me was being passed and soon as he got an opening, the car behind me made a fast swerve around me leaving the car ridding his bumper with little to no reaction time while he was locking up his breaks made me alter my plan. after i altered my plan the driver who about hit me because of no turn signal swerves at me while yelling use your turn-signal and flipping me off. this all happened while trying to avoid a pot-hole, and sand making me take my left arm down for a second. sec. 2.5. a motorcycle manufactured on january 1, 1956, or after this date is required to be equipped with the following devices: (1) a rear view mirror.
