The Rundown-by Craig

[Astiryu1]

I bought the bike (2001 GZ250) used from a Harley Dealer. It was a trade in. It had just over 9,000 miles on it and had no real wear and tear to speak of save for a missing mirror. I got her home and started riding immediately As I got more and more confident in the tests I went further until I felt confident enough to go to school. A 30 mile ride one way and it dies halfway there for the first time. I get to school and call my parents to pick it up for me. Not the best part of Ft. Myers I get home charge the battery and it happens a few more times. So I buy a maintainer and a new (cheap) battery and it still does it. Looked up the problems and it sounds like it is the stator. I change it and buy a new (expensive) battery with my friend (also riding buddy) that works on bikes. Seems fine for a week then I go out to a friends house that is about the same distance to school and it dies on the way back at night in the middle of nowhere. Make call friend picks the bike and I up and that is the present situation. After changing the stator the bike actually has enough juice to start again on it's own but won't stay on. I think it is the electric rectifier/regulator. Other than that she rides better than my old bike and I don't have oily pant legs
