Unless you keep them perfectly dry, clean, and safe, they go belly up within a couple months of getting them.
And yes, I have it wired properly, direct to the battery, correct gauge wiring, etc. etc. etc.
Stebels suck huge ass; they're great for the first 6 beeps, then go downhill from there until they piss you off and die with a whimper.

did you filter the intake like it says to? shoot some penetrant/lube up there every once in a while? install it with a fuse & relay thingy? mine lasted 2 years on the klr, rain & dirt roads & everything.
a stebel is mandatory equipment for me; if they crapped out every month i'd still keep running them. $35 is a small price to pay for sweeping people back out of your lane...
