I have a 2005 suzuki vl1500t and i have had to have the stator replace on my bike after it only has 13,880 miles. In 2010 while riding my bike it went dead and i had to coast my way to the side of the road during traffic. After replacing my battery the bike worked perfectly. Then a few months later i road my bike to work and went to lunch around 1pm. When i got ready to go home around 4pm it would not start. After getting the bike home i placed it on my battery plus tender charger and within a couple of hours it started right up. I left the bike on the charger till the next morning. The next day i went to go to work and the bike cranked right up but when i went to go to lunch the bike would not start. After having a dealer look at the bike it was determined that the stator was bad. After removing the cover and looking at the stator we could see that part of it was very dark in color compared to the rest of it. The discoloration was from the 12 o'clock hour till the 3 o'clock of the stator. After much research i noticed that there was a recall on the stator for the same bike in 2008 and my bike uses r/r part rectifier assy 32800-41f11(replaces 32800-41f10) which is subject to recall in the listed models.note that only 2008 and newer models were recalled, but the c90 which uses this component was left off.we have been dealing with this identical failure since 2005 model c90s were first sold, and failures have continued to be documented, including 2008 and later models.i belong to a forum dedicated to teh c90 bikes listed at www.delphiforums.com/rlcmc and we have numerous members that are having the same issues with their stators. I am hoping that you will take a moment and look into including our model bikes into the recall you have already done for later models. Thanks in advance for your time.
