Met a friend last Saturday to ride and take pictures of the fall colors... but her 2009 F658GS wouldn't start.

Jump started it, got it to my house, checked the stator output and got 7.2 to 7.6 volts on all three legs.

Then, just to compare, I checked my 2009 F800GS, and got 13.4 on one leg and 9.6 volts on the other two

. My stator was replaced under warranty exactly ONE year (and 8K miles) ago

So now I have two new stators coming from Rick's Motorsport Electrics.
