After careful examination of the photo and referencing to parts books, I consulted a mechanic and conclude you are correct, it is your stator
There is some discoloration if the coil conductors, bear in mind it "lives" in a very rough environment. Why was it pulled? have you ohmed it out?

I think the black is scraped off revealing the varnished insulation. OP what did it smell like when you opened the primary? Having changed out more stators than I can remember I can tell you if the stator is shorted it begins to "cook" the primary fluid immediately, it smells like *** and turns the fluid very dark.
You wouldn't have been able to miss the smell. No smell the stator is most likely fine.

^^^ I wouldn't !
Had a CE regulator fail first trip out, contacted them and returned unit, never heard a word back. For that I paid a premium price.
Off shelf JP Cycle $50 unit still going.
