What makes a bystarter die?

I've put the 4th bystarter on the '87 se50. Could be I had bad bystarters to begin with but is there anything electrical on the bike that could be killing them?

I agree unless somehow the stator is putting out like 4 times the voltage it should, which is pretty much impossible.

One was on the bike when i got it. Bought 2nd used he said he "bench tested it". 3rd was from a guy Bear recommended "new in the box". I have the 4th on the bike - which won't start when cold. Killerpancake said he tested them on a battery.

Did you test it yourself? hot wire to battery for few minute.
