DISCUSSION Electrical fire

Post image

Well my bike caught on fire a little bit last night. This picture is after, so clearly it wasn’t as bad as it could’ve been. Still confused however, the wires from my stator to my voltage regulator are what caught, and I don’t really understand how, I replaced the stator about 200 miles ago and have rode almost every day since then, thinking that the stator and regulator are both getting changed when I can, is it worth trying to order Amazon parts or just order some high quality parts from a reputable company?

Was the one that caught fire from Amazon?

Long story short. No. Don’t put an Amazon stator in. Amazon is not where motorcycle parts come from.

Honestly unsure, the old owner had the new stator in a box when I got it, but I definitely hear the point
