2007 G650- Display Resets

powwow

Member
I've been casually shopping for a G650 and recently noticed one in CL. It's a 2007 G650 XCountry with 25K miles. The owner says it runs great with the following exception (in his words):

"The only issue I am having now is at low RPM the display resets. New battery, zero mechanical issues aside from electrical problem at the moment. The battery charges fine but it could be that the stator is on its way out and is not providing enough juice at low RPM."

Would some of you who are familiar with this bike agree with his diagnosis? If so, how big of a job is it to replace the stator?

Thanks for any direction you could provide.
 
You can call up a voltmeter on the XCountry display and see what happens to the output at low rpm's. If there is a problem, look at the voltage regulator before replacing the alternator.

A bad battery can also cause all sorts of issues with these bikes.

These displays are sensitive to voltage spikes, like when an HID auxiliary lamp ignites. Your problem may be something like that or a bad display or a faulty ground.

This could be many things.
