Models
Buell 2009 and 2010 1125R and 1125CR models as well as 2008 1125R models that have been refitted with a 2009 or 2010 engine.
PURPOSE
Buell Motorcycle Company has determined that a potential charging system issue exists on 2009 and 2010 1125R and 1125CR models as well as 2008 1125R models that have been refitted with a 2009 or 2010 replacement engine. On these models the stator may operate at temperatures that exceed the manufacturer's recommendation when the vehicle is ridden in lower-rpm (below 5,000 rpm) duty cycles. These model motorcycles described above may experience charging system issues related to excessive stator heat. Installation of this kit will remedy the issue.

ECM CALIBRATION
The calibration activates the relay and shuts off one leg of the alternator system under certain conditions preventing the overheating [of the alternator] that may lead to an alternator failure.
NOTE
Do not connect the A/C power to the Tech Link until prompted during the reflash procedure.
Verify the current calibration using Digital Technician and reflash the calibration if updated calibration is not present. Refer to Table 1 and Table 2.
