Consumer Description

BIKE WOULD NOT START AFTER A LONG RIDE. JUMP STARTED TO GET HOME. AFTER LOOKING IN TO THE REASON FOUND THAT THE STATOR HAD SHORTED OUT AND BURNT UP.I WAS LUCKY THAT THIS DID NOT HAPPEN A HALF AN HOUR EARLIER AS I WAS RIDING AT 50 MPH AND LOSE ALL POWER. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH A GREAT MANY SUZUKI MOTORCYCLE OWNERS. THIS SHOULD NOT BE A PROBLEM ON BIKES THIS OLD. SUZUKI HAS A RECALL OF THE FAILED ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS BUT DID NOT INCLUDE THE C90 WHICH USES THE SAME ONES AS THOSE LISTED IN THE RECALL. THIS IS JUST WRONG. SUZUKI SHOULD STEP UP AND DO WHAT'S RIGHT FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS. *TR
