Consumer Description

I EXPERIENCED A LOW BATTERY INDICATION WHILE DRIVING THE MOTORCYCLE. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE CYCLE TO MY RESIDENCE PRIOR TO BATTERY NO LONGER BEING ABLE TO POWER THE IGNITION AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, INCLUDING HEAD AND TAIL LIGHTS. STATOR WAS REMOVED AND FOUND TO BE SEVERELY BURNED DUE TO INSUFFICIENT COOLING. DESIGN OF THIS MOTORCYCLE DOES NOT ALLOW SUFFICIENT OIL COOLING OF THE STATOR RESULTING IN NEARLY 100% STATOR FAILURE IN 2009 BUELL 1125CR AND 1125R MODELS. I SENT THE STATOR TO A FACILITY FOR REWIND AND REPAIR. *TR
