I think we have different bikes - model year.
I have limited knowledge on the bike's elec system, but will be learning more soon.

Hmmmm ..... this is certainly of interest to me as well as I approach the magic 24K pick-up coil explosion threshold. I will inquire of local stator experts and see what is up. I may also be able to put this to Suzuki as well.

On Hondas the pick up coil is a separate item, not part of the stator. I can't believe you have to buy the entire stator!

Another bomb in the DR is that do-hickey bolt that comes lose? I can't remember but it's about time to have a look in side and tighten or loc-tit it.
I know there are threads on this on the "big" thread.

By the way, the magazine has had a '96 DR since '96. About a year ago the gear box failed. I thought maybe it was the lose bolt. Happened at 33K miles.
Now more to this story. The bike was fine with the Boss's daughter riding.
Then, about six months before failure the bad son began riding it, which I never new. He is a an evil rider who loves to BANG shifts, power shift and do endless wheelies. A terrible rider, always on the edge of crashing.

So after the "mysterious" failure of the '96 DR, dad buy "Jr." another ..... brand new DR. Now, just a year later, its popping out of 2nd gear. His riding behaviour is the same and the extended warranty (Western) company do not want to pay. They say that if a bike pops out of 2nd it means its been "abused". I say BS. (even though its true in this case! but how could they know that?

Anyway, I may be getting some "spare" parts soon. (from the '96) which dad paid to have the cases split. Bolt salad. Ugly. I have not seen it, but not good. I'ts got an Ohlins everyone wants. I want the wheels and forks.
