Question RM85 Stator Coils

Has anyone on this forum got or had any experience with the RM85's blowing stator coils ?? I know of and have seen quite a few RM85's that have blown stator coils this year, and am led to believe that this is a common problem.
Some blew coils after only a few hours some after a few months. Some were replaced with new ones only to blow after 2 hours or less, then the next coil lasted 3 months. No sort of pattern involved.
Who knows a fix, or the cause, or if there are aftermarket stator coils available that last longer ??
