Default Yes - on K3 Vee

I have a combination of issues – a burnt stator (all 3 phases shorted to ground), r/r fails diode checks and the magnets are misaligned in the stator rotor. All but one of the magnets came unglued - all touching each other - leaving a huge gap in the field.

Stator failed at 52,600 miles. $280 and a 5 day wait. Oh well, It's been pretty reliable till now.

Those percentages are of those replying. In actuality, they are much lower. Most people who do not have problems and some who do have never seen this thread.

much lower, there are many V-strom owners who have never seen this forum, let alone the thread

but how bout those who answered no problems but later had problems, is there a mechanism to change vote ?


I would think that if the problem were even close to what we see here, Suzuki would be addressing the issue
