STATOR FAILURE @ 25,000 MILES. TOOK BIKE TO DEALER FOR WARRANTY REPAIR. DEALER REFUSED TO HONOR MY EXTENDED WARRANTY CITING AFTERMARKET HEADLIGHTS AS THE CAUSE FOR STATOR FAILURE. I HAVE 23 OTHER INDIVIDUALS IN MY GROUP WITH CBR 1000RRS WHO HAVE HAD THEIR STATOR FAIL, SOME BIKES HAVING GONE THROUGH AS MANY AS 6 STATORS. MANY OF THESE BIKES HAVE THE SAME TYPE OF AFTERMARKET HEADLIGHT SYSTEM AS MYSELF, AND THEY HAVE HAD NO TROUBLE WITH DEALER HONORING WARRANTY. I REPLACED THE FAILED STATOR WITH A NEW OEM HONDA PART. AFTER 10,000 MILES ON THE REPLACEMENT STATOR, MY CHARGING SYSTEM IS STARTING TO SHOW A STEADY DROP IN SYSTEM VOLTAGE, AND I BELIEVE THIS STATOR TO NOW BE FAILING AS WELL. *JB
