What’s wrong
The insulation material of wiring for the stator may be damaged by engine heat and a short-circuit between the wiring may occur. Continued use of the motorcycle with this condition may cause the generating current of the stator coil to be reduced and insufficient charging to the battery may result. In the worst case it can lead to the engine stalling during running and/or the engine may be impossible to restart.
The fix
Recall the machines that are likely to be affected and replace the Stator Set.
