Hi,
2 weeks ago my stator coil went pop on my '05 Blade, originally Honda wanted around £280 for new one !!
Yesterday I got a call from the Honda Head Office, informing me of an extended warrenty period on the 04/05 bikes due to a known fault with the stator when the engine runs between 2-5k rpm.
The extended period runs out next year so get yourself down to an authorised dealership and get it swapped over free of charge before its too late.
cheers for that but what do i say to them when i call as mine still works???
they didn’t issue a recall because they are just fixing as and when they go wrong, which I think it a little naughty to be fair, if they’re aware there’s an issue, get it fixed for everyone now.
I guess you could say you have charging issues perhaps they’ll just chuck an new coil in for you, alternatively put a blow torch to one of the pickups and fry it, that’s what mine looks like. 
i was thinking about taking mine in when i get it back in a couple of weeks, will they just **** off if nothing is currently wrong with it?
Yeh, had mine done about 3 wks ago. Brand new one put in, only cos i kept buying so many damn batteries and the bike packed up when i was out with Loopy. Took it back to the dealers who told me the same thing…so yeh, ive had mine changed…apparently when they took the old one off it was burnt out inside ?
Err, still dont stop my bike from not starting up when i havent used it for 2 wks tho !!! Had to put the bike away in the garage and i hadnt used it for a week previous…when i went to get it out yesterday…nothing, so back it came and on the optimate…batteries all charged up again now…but ive got to use it every day…or at least few times a week…usually takes bout 2 weeks and it goes flat…pees me off cos the ol man can leave his for months and it starts first time…could be my tracker, though theyve told me its not…
