Consumer Description

I HAVE HAD THREE EXPERIENCES WITH THE STATOR FAILING. THE FIRST TIME WAS AUGUST OF 2011 THE BIKE HAD 5660 MILES, AND I HAD OWNED IT FOR ABOUT 16 MOS. IT STARTED WITH A SYSTEM VOLTAGE READING AND THE BATTERY WAS LOSING ITS CHARGE MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO START WITHOUT JUMPING OR PUTTING A CHARGER ON THE BATTERY. THE NEXT EPISODES WERE TWICE IN JANUARY OF 2012 AT 6786 MILES, WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS SHUT OFF AND THE SPEEDOMETER BEGAN FLICKERING AND THE TURN SIGNALS ALSO QUIT WORKING. I CHECKED ALL FUSES AND NOW I HAVE TURN SIGNALS AND SPEEDO LIGHTS BUT NO HEADLIGHTS WHETHER ON HI OR LOW BEAM, AND I AM AGAIN GETTING A SYSTEM VOLTAGE READING ON THE SPEEDO. HOW MANY TIMES WILL THIS HAVE TO HAPPEN BEFORE HARLEY DAVIDSON IS FORCED TO COME UP WITH A SAFE AND EFFECTIVE FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM? MUST SOMEONE DIE FIRST? I HAVE READ ONLINE OF PEOPLE USING A 2008 STATOR AND HAVING NO MORE PROBLEMS. *TR
