This is my way of replacing the stator in my 2007 DL1000, without draining the oil. Should be the same for 2002-2012 models. If your charging system is not working, then you probably need to change the stator. I put it off and tried other fixes, but it was the stator. Just replace it, it's fairly easy. Also, with these Vstrom's, you will probably have to fix the magnets on the magneto. They tend to come unglued and out of position. There are other videos specific to that repair, although I do address it here as well.

This is my first attempt at a video and I'm not super tech savvy, so if it sucks, deal with it! :)
