GrahamS2 Posted June 15, 2021 Posted June 15, 2021 21 hours ago, Andrew_Smith said: Sadly there seems to be an issue with the stator since it does not charge the battery while riding, luckily with me being lightweight and the bike as well, my friends just pushed me to jumpstart the bike to get me home where I put it on charge again. We did confirm the problem Saturday afternoon by stripping the bike and testing the 3-phase cable with the voltmeter where it read 30 - 16 - 6. So yeah, a new stator needed, fun times... If anyone knows a secondhand BMW dealer for parts or know of someone who can source a stator for the 2010 G450X, please DM me. I will greatly appreciate it. Have a look into getting the stator rewound. Might be an option. Andrew_Smith 1

Joined the Wild Dog ADV Forum and the members are really helpful. I asked Flying Brick in Cape Town as well for any advice but a user called BiG DoM said he had the exact same problem with his G450X and rewiring was the best option since the part is quite expensive and hard to come by. He provided me with the details of the person who did his rewiring and claimed he does it better than the OEM, so know I just need to remove the stator to be couriered for rewound.

RocknRolla Posted June 15, 2021 Posted June 15, 2021 I also wanted to say that if E-bike chat is allowed on the "new" forum format... so should motorcycle chat... same-same, but different.... The Ouzo and Hairy 1 1
Hairy Posted June 15, 2021 Posted June 15, 2021 Took a ride down to the local paint shop over lunch. Parked the bike, a bakkie does a U-Turn a bit up the road, and cuts across the parking bays to pull up next to me to compliment the bike and ask the year ... he then starts talking RE his 2015 Fat Bob and hauls out his phone to show pics of it That is when I realised I left my mask at home, dude whips out a packet of fresh masks and offers me one So now in our area I know of his 2015, the Texans 2010 and my 2008 Fat Bob's.

IceCreamMan Posted June 15, 2021 Posted June 15, 2021 Thats the hard to define aspect of harley ownership...a kind of camaraderie i have never found on another brand. One buys into an ethos i spose. Took my harley for a lekker ride in the sun today. What a lekker ride. Andrew_Smith and Hairy 2

The guy I met earlier today says he has just had his Fat Bob for three months now, then I asked him what he was riding before .... never before have I seen a smile vanish so quickly and a doom and gloom descend on his face when he said and enduro bike.
