So, You Bought A Burgman Instead Of A Crappy Chinese Scooter

The recall covers the 2008 to 2012 AN400, AN400A

Yes the Mighty Burgman has a balky charging system.

BMW and some Japanese bikes have been recalled too. I've never heard of a Taotao being recalled.

That's beacuse Taotao doesn't give a crap, not because their products are free of defects. : )

My point was that people put the knock on Chinese scooters and yes, there are flaws but mostly in assembly. If all the Chinese 250s sold here suddenly had a model wide defect think what the slurs would be. "What do you expect from cheap Chinese crap"

Four years worth of Burgman have a defect and everyone will say, "Defects happen. At least they're fixing them." NOT "Japanese garbage again. This is why they lost the war."

A slight double standard, Hmmmmmm?

Yup the Chinese have a ways to go to fix their reputation. The Burgmans had a potentially faulty regulator/rectifier. I don't know if I'd call that a balky charging system.
