NHTSA Complaint #10420762 — 2007 SUZUKI VL1500K7

I OWN A SUZUKI C90 MY ISSUE IS WITH THE STATOR. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE IT TWICE NOW. THE 1ST TIME WAS 2 YEARS AGO WHEN I HAD 25,000 KM ON IT. THE 2ND TIME WAS LAST WEEK WHEN IT WOULD NOT START. I FOUND OUT IT WAS THE SIGNAL GENERATOR THAT IS ATTACHED TO THE STATOR, BUT THE STATOR WAS BURNT AND WAS ON IT WAY OUT. THE BIKE JUST DIED WHILE RIDING IT, NO INDICATION OF WHAT WAS WRONG. THE 1ST PART I REPLACED WAS PART # 32101-10F10 THAT WAS REPLACED IN 2009 WHEN I HAD 25,000 KM ON IT. I ALSO HAD TO BUY A NEW GASKET AND THE TOTAL PRICE FOR THE REPAIR WAS ABOUT $450.00 THE 2ND REPAIR I HAD TO USE ANOTHER GASKET AND THE SAME PART # 32101-10F10 FOR ANOTHER $450. OUT OF MY POCKET. I WISH THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS PART TO GET IT FIXED RIGHT. *TR
