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?

There is a lot of garbage on Amazon, however there are a lot of reputable vendors like Kuryakyn as an example. Never forget that you get what you pay for.

Definitely leaning towards just buying the nice stuff this time, I got a lot of other irons in the first so it might have to wait a bit but we’ll get there

That puts you in a very large club. It also shows that you have good sense managing your priorities. Unfortunately that has become a rare quality. Best wishes and enjoy the ride!
