I wonder how many of the failed units were running synthetic oil, and if synth runs cooler enough to have any effect on stator life.

testrider · 12-07-2008, 12:11 AM

Thanks again. 10 failed out of a total of 22. That's 45.4 % failure rate and it keeps climbing up...
That's definitely A LOT higher than normal for sure...

DragonXX · 12-11-2008, 1:20 AM

Everything on the bike will fail eventually !
It's up to us to keep her from doing it all at ONCE

Mine's 12 months old with 26,500 klms (16,562 miles)

testrider... I was giving this poll some thought. I think that we are going to need a lot more responses. The other thing is that the poll should be divided out by each model year. Grouping all of the FI model years together might not tell us too much. Might be getting more responses on the newer model year because there may be a lot more of the newer model years left on the road. Just some thoughts.

I agree but it was too late to change the text so I asked everyone to post a short text as to:

model year
mileage
fail / no-fail

and then I will add them up, put them in a table and post it here.

I agree. That's the purpose of this poll :-)

Did yours fail or not?
Thanks.

Strek · 12-11-2008, 5:23 PM

testrider... Sounds good. Thanks.

I have a 98 with 18K+. I bought with 14K. I have only replaced the R/R with a Honda upgraded unit (finned). No stator. No problems since, knock on wood. Cheers.

everest · 12-25-2008, 5:46 PM

'03, failed at 72000 km (about 44700 miles).

Ciao,

John01XX · 12-26-2008, 12:23 PM

I am currently waiting on a new Stator to arrive this week.
2001 w/49,800

testrider · 12-26-2008, 6:07 PM

Thanks, John.

betoXX · 12-27-2008, 4:37 AM

Not a problem with the alternator, but I had to replace the R/R (part# 31600-MY305 = O&M with fins) and the battery.

This hapened two weeks after boosting up a died batery from a friend´s motorcycle during a ride. I believe I do it wrong keep running my engine when he was trying to start his old CB-750 F1.

My BB is a '97 and has only 13,600 miles on it.

PiAnt · 12-27-2008, 6:03 AM

'99 FI
Estimated 50,000 (clocks buggered)
Failed around 10 months ago - quoted 24,000 Baht (close on USD 700 now, not sure how much then, but too much.)
Rewound at about 1/4 of that price - no probs since. (I hope.)

SondanXX · 12-28-2008, 6:59 AM

2000, 41K and still the original stator... I have replaced the R/R with an OEM unit from a 2001 though...
Knock on wood...

flipy351 · 01-05-2009, 8:53 AM

You should have had another poll along side with if your reg has failed.

salbery · 01-11-2009, 8:59 PM

'98 with 40,000km and stator is ok. This said, the original R/R recently died (replaced it with the new OEM part) and all now looks ok - battery is charging well. Not running any aftermarket accessories on electrical system.

Poundstretcher · 03-10-2009, 6:01 AM

99 fi 50k no problems yet

dad · 03-10-2009, 5:02 PM

I think I kicked this issue off a while ago but it would appear that models after '99 are less prone to Stator failure.

When mine s##t itself it was less than 20Kms from home - a trailer job.
A couple of months previously we rode from Newcastle to the Oz GP at Phillip Island and back across the snow country - 'glass half full'

Cheers
