Defect
On certain motorcycles, a circuit board within the voltage regulator/rectifier assembly may have been incorrectly soldered during manufacturing process. The improper soldering can cause an internal short which will illuminate the check engine light. If there is a loose battery connection along with the defective regulator, the Power-Train Control Module may inaccurately process the various engine control inputs. This could lead to an engine stall condition which, in conjunction with traffic and road conditions, and the rider's reactions, could increase the risk of a crash.
