Consumer Description

THIS 2009 BUELL 1125R HAD THE STATOR REPLACED ONCE UNDER WARRANTY AT ABOUT 8000 MILES. NOW AT 12000 MILES THE STATOR HAS FAILED AGAIN WITH THE BIKE JUST OUT OF WARRANTY. WHEN THE STATOR FAILS THE BATTERY CAN NOT CHARGE AND WHEN THE CHARGE ON THE BATTERY IS DEPLETED THE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN LEAVING THE RIDER STRANDED. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM BECAUSE WHEN THE ENGINE DIES SUDDENLY THE RIDER MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO GET OFF THE ROAD WITHOUT SERIOUS RISK. I BELIEVE HARLEY DAVIDSON IS AWARE THAT THE 2009 BUELL 1125R HAS A FAULTY STATOR, THERE ARE MANY INSTANCES OF THIS FAILURE ON INTERNET CHAT SITES. APPARENTLY HARLEY DAVIDSON REFUSES TO SERIOUSLY ADDRESS THE ISSUE WITH A RECALL. *TR
