Just bought a used 07 special edition with 3000 km on it. First time out road for quite a while and it just died. No sputtering, backfiring or anything. The cluster goes dead and the red EPS light is on. Came on the forum and have been reading about the stator problem. This one does not have the updated cover and the plug has never even been removed…was a bugger to get it unplugged. Values on the stator seem to be 0.002, but I have to double check if my meter is set right (not that electronicly savy)

It has done it after longer riding as well as really short ride. let it sit for a minute or move the bike back and forth and it fires up again. when it dies there no power to the starter…doesn’t click or do anything…just dead.

Wondering if anyone has any ideas?
