The short version
Yamaha Motor Corporation, USA reported a problem with the electrical system alternator/generator/regulator. Here is what owners need to know.
In the affected motorcycles, the insulation on the stator coil, a component of the alternator, may become damaged and short circuit to due insufficient heat resistance.
If the stator coil is not insulated, the motorcyle will not charge and the battery will go dead, causing the engine to stall which increases the risk of a crash.
