I’m going through the same thing right now rebuilding my gen 2 after sitting for 3 years after a spill. And I diagnosed it and that’s my issue so I’m hittin Rick for electric. Love the vids !!

[@joshuaanothereraseddad]

I had an 04 Daytona 955i and they are notorious for rectifier issues. Purchased an upgraded mosfet unit from Rick's and never had a problem. Until I blew up the engine that is haha! I'll definitely be purchasing one for the 02 Busa project I just picked up.

I have been ordering Ricks motorsports electronics for roughly 10 years now at the shop I work at. You can’t beat their price if you fuck up on the order they are good about swapping it out. I’ve done it a time or two.

[@eman85mph]

OK going thru SAME thing now with R1. Came back from 120 mile ride, hot day @99 degrees. Bike was at 220 whole time. 2 miles LUCKILY from house same thing...sputtered, lights flashed, I was able to quickly get to side of road but all power dead. No gauge LEDs, no spark nothing. Pushed her home, charged battery....nothing, NEW battery from other bike...nada! So my question is would a failed stator or rectifer still cause no power even with a brand new battery hooked up? Even with a full stator ring of burnt coils I've been able to at least power up the LED cluster before on other bikes but not this time. Thanks for the help. Bike is 2006 R1 47k miles. Replaced stator/ Rectifier 1500 miles ago.

[@carlkennedy2499]

I have a bike yamaha dt125r 2001. And when riding at over 50mph sum tines it looses power all together 😮 and have to pull over rolling. Them bike starts up again. And if go to high speeds again it dose the same. Any idea's is it the stator amd pick up coil 😢

[@seahawksforever9504]

So a bad stator would cause no power at all? Or it cranks but no start? If we see spark plugs firing up that means stator and crankshaft is working?

[@rdaw33]

Is this something that should be done to a like motorcycle before failure?

[@cycledrag]

Well it's hard to tell when it's going to happen. For teh majority of bikes, this will never happen. What is the worst / most expensive problem you have run into with your motorcycle?

[@ncsteeltoe]

Far too common problem for Suzuki. Same thing happened to my GSXR. Pro tip - Hard wire the rectifier connection when you change it. The factory connectors SUCK and are a major cause of the problems.

[@RicksElectrics]

That is a good tip! We also make a Hot Shot connector kit with 350 series terminals (larger) vs. the 250 series standard terminals if you want to be able to replace easier and/or aren't comfortable with soldering.

[@cycledrag]

Mine did the same thing my 30a fuse is blowing out I think mine is the rectifier not sure if it's going to be to stay or two?? It it better to replace them both at the same time?? I have a 2001 Suzuki Hayabusa 1300 r

[@bikelifedui4492]

Would it be my stater too? My bike did the same thing yours did lost all power and no lights are numbers on the dash

[@joedeatherage9134]

Did you check to see if it was one that had the recall for the Rec/Reg?

[@cycledrag]

Yes. Not for a 2014 unfortunately

[@gaddy8964]

I run a P.12XL Full Spectrum Battery and even had my rectifier replaced twice under the Suzuki recall for my 08 Busa probably between 2012 & 2014 & its been fine ever since. I even replaced my stator cover with an aftermarket Woodcraft cover. My stator looks very similar to the one shown in this video. Ironically I've had no charging or cranking problems before the recall and none after rectifier was replaced by the dealership. I'm guessing I either caught a potential problem before one arrived and avoided one after the replacement. I'm definitely gonna look into the aftermarket rectifier from this supplier especially based on the slim profile design and what it provides. However I'm surprised to know that the 2014 model isn't supported by Suzuki..🤔

@@cycledrag Id have to say replacing the fairing on the throttle side of the bike. I lowered my bike without replacing my kickstand at the same time. The bike slowly tipped over while idling and I wasn't able to save it from tipping over. Was barely able to save it from a hard impact fall and further damage.
