Consumer Description

AT 50 MPH THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON. THEN THE ALTERNATOR LIGHT CAME ON AND BIKE WAS RUNNING JUST ON THE BATTERY. WAS CLOSE ENOUGH TO HOME TO MAKE IT BACK. TOOK THE BIKE IN FOR REPAIR AFTER A COMPLETE BATTERY CHARGE. DIAGNOSTICS WAS COMPLETE STATOR FAILURE. HARLEY DAVIDSON WON'T REPAIR THE DEFECT. THE DEALER KEPT TELLING ME ABOUT AN UPGRADE BUT WOULD NEVER SAY WHAT IT WAS. NOW I FIND OUT MANY OF THESE 1125CR MODEL BIKES, IN THE 2009 YEAR, HAVE THIS PROBLEM. BUELL IS OUT OF BUSINESS SO I GET STUCK WITH A $1500 REPAIR BILL! SHOULD SUE HARLEY DAVIDSON FOR KNOWN ISSUES WITH THE STATOR. CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. *TR
