ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILURE. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILS WHILE RIDING AND RESTARTING THE BIKE. I HAD NO POWER AFTER RIDING 50 MILES AND STOPPING TO REFUEL. I HAD JUST HAD A NEW BATTERY INSTALLED. A NEW RECTIFIER AND STATOR WAS INSTALLED FALL OF 2015. THIS HAPPENED PREVIOUSLY WHEN I WAS DRIVING THROUGH A PARKING LOT OF A MALL AND THE BIKE DIED. IN THE FIVE YEARS THAT I HAVE OWNED THIS BIKE, I HAVE INSTALLED THREE BATTERIES D FOUR SETS OF STATERS/ RECTIFIERS. I AM READY TO GET RID OF THE BIKE. I NEVER KNOW WHERE I MIGHT BE WHEN THE BIKE WILL DIE. THIS IS THE MOST UNRELIABLE BIKE I HAVE EVER OWNED.
