Starting/chargings problem with 2007 Boulevard C90

[Tango]

I really want to buy a 2007 Boulevard C90 for sale locally, but I just read dozens of blogs that complain about the inadequate charging system and frequent starting problems. Can anyone tell me if this is likely to be a problem with all C90s and how difficult it is to get it fixed?

DOZENS........REALLY ??
And none of them mentioned getting the problems FIXED ??

There are several C90 owners here; they should be along shortly.

If you would read those blogs you found, you'd see that the stator/ signal generator assembly was redesigned in 2005 to solve the starting issues. There is not a lot of extra electrical capacity on the C90, but there isn't a lot of extra electrical capacity on 95% of Japanese motorcycles, so you will have to give it the same attention you would any other Japanese cruiser: plug it into a battery tender if you are going to let it sit for a long time, plan on buying a new battery about every 4 years, and don;t overload the system by putting every electrical accessory you can find on it.

The C90 is a pretty good bike, not as good as some but better than most when it comes to performance, comfort, durability, driveability, and longevity. You could certainly do a lot worse. There are a lot ofused ones out there, so don't pay a lot, and avoid ones built before 2005 unless the stator has been replaced with the new one.
