I have a 2021 xl1200x 48 I'm at 17000 miles. At about 15,000 miles my stator went completely dead stranding me on the road. Harley changed it out under warranty. Anyway the other day at a stop light I got a wiff of what smelled like burning ka ka and from what I gather that's the stator going out again. Is there any suggestions on why I'm going thru stators?

Did you add anything electrical that adds a load on your charging system? Im not familiar with the M8s but I know HD makes an upgraded stator for the twin cams. I replaced my 03 stator with a Cycle Electric. At 45k miles. My 12 stator just failed at 17k miles. I was out if town so I just had the crappy HD stator replaced.
