My stator failed last autumn and I replaced it myself with a new one. But that was not that fun, the weather was cold and I had to do it, because I needed to take the bike to a friend's garage next days. But after doing it, seeing that I have about 14V at the battery instead of 12V with the engine running was really

Apologies for my sarcasm lol - didn't realise you'd experienced the 'stator thing' too but gld to hear you replaced it successfully

No worries. I have a lot of experience at fixing mechanical stuff, I also owned some older cars and I did a lot of repairs on them. The bike seems like a toy compared to them :)

I've got lots of practice and experience on electro-mechanical stuff (electronic & computer technician and bench repair) hence my lack of fear of such things like fitting heated grips and accessories to bikes - piece of cake lol.
I draw the line at anything inside engines though and the manual mentions special tools required for stator replacement such as 'rotor puller' but others tell me that's not needed...
By the way my fuel consumption over the last 6 weeks (since I've had the bike) is virtually identical to yours i.e. 45mpg over 1100 miles (in old money) of very mixed riding including motorways, towns and country lanes...

No special tools required to replace the stator. Flywheel is not removed.

About the same average as you at 45mpg over 9 years.

Cheers! Keeping a close eye on battery voltage and charging and suspect I may be approaching that sad scenario... Voltage at 4000 rpm plus not really increasing, sits at c.13.8V although coil resistances all within spec at 0.4 ohms. Battery is charging though but on my CBR the volts inrease to 15V at 4-5k rpm...
