IS GL1200 STATOR FAILURE DUE TO THE NEED FOR AN IMPROVED CHARGING HARNESS?

1984-87 GL1200's have suffered from these past complaints:

• motor noise heard in radio equipment,
• hard starting engine,
• acceleration or carburetor lag,
• rough idle,
• engine overheating,
• short battery life and
• short stator life from overheating

Over the years, many have blamed the GL1200 stator failure on an incorrectly designed charging harness. The stock plug-and-play connector is sometimes a weak point to be sure.

Rick's Motorsports Electric stators are wound with a slightly larger wire than the Honda OEM and consequently are a bit more robust than stock.
