An official CAA Japan notice concerns Motorcycle (Suzuki V-Strom and others) - Repair. Due to a defect in the electrical system (generator). ■ Defective component (part name): Electrical system (generator). ■ Condition and cause of the structure, equipment or performance deemed noncompliant with standards: The generator's stator coil has insufficient heat resistance. When the coil becomes hot, the coating on the coil wire may be damaged, causing a short circuit in part of the coil. This reduces power generation, and continued use may leave the battery insufficiently charged. In the worst case, the engine may stop while riding and become impossible to restart.

What to do now
