Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE AT NIGHT AND MY MOTORCYCLE LOST ALL POWER, THERE WAS NO WARNING OR ANYTHING JUST DIED. IF THERE WOULD OF BEEN ANOTHER VEHICLE BEHIND ME THEN I COULD OF EASILY BEEN IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I WAS ABLE TO GET OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND I COULD SMELL SOMETHING HOT IN THE FRONT OF THE BIKE. I HAD TO GET IT TOWED HOME. I STARTED RESEARCHING IF ANYONE ELSE HAD THIS ISSUE AND FOUND THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. IT IS THE RECTIFIER / REGULATOR TOWARDS THE FRONT OF THE BIKE, IT GETS HOT AND BURNS UP. THIS ALSO CAUSES THE 30 AMP FUSE TO BLOW FOR THE THE WIRING FOR THE BATTERY. I SEE THERE HAS BEEN RECALLS FOR THE 2008-2011 MODEL YEARS BUT I THINK THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THE 2006 AND 2007 YEARS AS WELL, BECAUSE MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THESE YEARS ALSO. *JS
