Only had the issue on my first TDM.
First @ about 75K, second at about 90K.
The second was still good when we stripped the bike - I think...Mr Henty took it to investigate re-winding it himself (with good success I believe), which makes me wonder if it was dead??? If it was then it was 105K not 90K.
Memory is failing I'm afraid...

Does not seem to be an 850 issue.

Did you all have additional non standard electrical gizmos attached to these boikes? Heated Satnav holders and space ship lights or is this happening in standard format too?
Does not seem to be an 850 issue.
Only thing I had was heated grips (~3amps from memory), and HID dipped beam (??amps, but less than standard bulb I believe).
I thought mine was down to a less that rigorous oil change schedule, but doesn't look like it.
I've got one of those LED Charge Indicators to fit so I get a bit of early warning next time...

Hmm wonder if there is a pattern
Symtec heated grips
Heated gloves
HID
So wonder if the spike used by the HID ballast coming as it does when the starter motor has drawn from the battery and is recharging creates a bit of a perfect storm..

Wonder if the fact that the 850 windings are "potted" make a difference?

An Update ...
Went down the route of the Electrex G14 ...thanks Stiggy for all your help
Wires were long enough, tried to salvage the connectors from the RR plug, but not very successful so ..
The plug on the stator that plug into the RR is a Furukawa 3p250wp ... could only find EasterBeaver or US sites selling just the spade connectors a special locking type not seen before ... had to resort to what looks like a patttern

Fitted the LED charge indicator ..http://www.ebay.co.u...=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
Time will tell

Happy to help hvass. Mine's been fine since
Glad to know you sorted it in the end. Out of interest and for future reference, what mileage is your bike Stiggy?
Hopefully the mods can add this to the knowledge base.
Sorry - missed this muddy. Bike had don 66k miles.

Lots of in town idling in traffic and heat build up maybe ? No issues on my older 4TX at 100k plus but very little urban riding on it...just another angle on it..

Could well be. I ride into central London, so plenty of slow riding/hot engine/fans on etc. It's telling that the paint on the casing bubbles badly too (though also corrosion related). When I stripped it, the top of the stator definitely looked worse than the bottom which gets the oil.

.....you have only yourself to blame Chris.I started a survey about this many years ago. Not really enough response to go on, but it seems to affect higher mileage 900s, but not many of them. I'm now up to 86K miles, with no charging issues.

Memory not what it used to be so really handy finding this post again so I can remember what I did ! ..bugger got same problem again original went at 46k the G14 replacement just gone at 57k really think must have another problem on the bike probably does not help that tdm only used for high days & holidays/camping nowadays
If a bike is used infrequently the battery can drop off. You'll have enough in reserve to start the bike, but staight afterwards the stator will be running at full output for a while till the battery comes back up. A good stator shouldn't suffer too much, but ones with what seem to be an insulation problem (from the few photos I've seen, and experienced with my own bike) then that could be a problem.
What was the failure mode of the G14 ? Any obvious signs of burning anywhere ?
The 850 stator I fitted to my 900 is still going well, despite the addition of heated grips now and extra LED lights. That's 15k so far, I inspected it ac oouple of times and there doesn't seem to be any hotspots (visually speaking)
