How many of you guys have had problems with you charging system? How many of you have  \\;had to change out stators? I have just had to have my 4th stator put in my bike.
What year is your bike, and how long have you had it? \\; Four stators is indication that something is WRONG. \\; Look for a faulty ground shorting out the system. \\; Have you had it on the rack and traced the wiring to make sure nothing has rubbed clean and is grounding you out. \\; I hate electrical problems, good luck. \\; I've put 1 new stator on regulator on my Road King at 55,000 miles. \\; I've got 63,000 now, with no problem. \\; I know that doesn't make you feel any better, I only mention it to let you know you should be getting a hell of a lot of life out of a new stator, if properly installed. \\; Once again, good luck finding the problem. \\; CCRyder
Chronic stator failures are usually the result of excessive heat caused by too much resistance in a circuit. Check all your wiring harness connectors for problems or corrosion. A \\;faulty \\;regulator may also cause stator failure.
Bike is a 2001 FLHTCI with 54k miles. Each stator has lasted almost a year. They are made by Excel and have a life time warranty. The bike has remained stock.
As others have said - you have a problem in yer system. \\; Time to git the manual out an' start tracin' circuits - most likely ya have a corroded/loose connection.
