The charging system on this motorcycle has no warning when it quits working. Since it IS a fuel injected vehicle, with constantly on headlights it will run down a perfectly good battery when the charging system fails. *tr the charging system has a latent defect in the rotor. The magnets are attached with an adhesive. The amount of adhesive IS minimal, leading to the release of the magnets. The attachment IS poor at best from a design standpoint. The magnets need to be secured either with rivets in recesses in the metal rotor. When the magnets fall off, the charging system fails. the problem IS that the vehicle quits with no warning. In my specific case it happened at rush hour, on a four lane 55 mph road with no shoulders. Luckily I was able to get out of the way of the other vehicles or I would not be able to write this. This IS a real safety issue for the rider. this charging system IS the same in quite a few suzuki motorcycles. I believe it IS used in all the 1000 cc v-twin engines for quite a few years. The internet IS full of these issues. I have saved the rotor in the event that you want it for further analysis. As you can see it does not take many miles for it to fail. This vehicle IS in excellent condition and has been very well maintained. The rotor and stator are inside the engine, there IS no chance of inadvertent damage causing this. *tr
