I am a member of a couple more owners forums as I have 3 bikes both the other forums the members are keen to help and always points you in the right direction without the bad attitude.Do a search with the keyword 'stator' instead of 'generator' and you will find what you are looking for. There is a very rare issue with the glue that holds the magnets in the stator failing which usually results in the failure of the charging system. It is quite an expensive fix from what I have read, but if you do suffer it and are planning on spending that sort of money, you can get uprated parts (post 2010 I think, but don't forget the new cover) which will reduce the risk of it happening again even further. The same problem also affected a small number of R1's, but it is not the sort of thing where you go looking for a preemptive fix.
