but it seems the generator seizing is a common fault (WTF there was never a recall for this I dont know)

If it's not considered to be a safety issue then the manufacturer probably has to weigh up the cost of replacement/rectification against the potential damage to their reputation if they don't issue a recall.

There was a similar issue with the FZS 600. A number of the OE front sprocket nuts loosened and came off in use. Upon measurement some of the output shafts were found to be slightly undersized.
The rectification was a new nut with a couple of extra threads and I think the recommendation that thread-locking compound be applied.
There was no official recall. Output shaft replacement is a long, costly job.
[/quote]The 600 I think was a service note extra which was to be done when the bike was serviced with a wider nut from the oem 9mm to a 12mm + an extra 20Nm and threadlock. I am not sure if a member on here actually had a shaft replaced because the nut coming undone had stripped the shaft thread.
