Tech said he would recheck battery before installing it on new parts . He too was a bit concerned about what his tester was saying. The thing I don't understand, as I stated in earlier post stator ohmed ok to each winding but also homed to ground. Is this correct readings?Confused on this point!

Stator windings should not be common with ground.

Missed that homed to ground. No, that is not correct. Back up near the top, you went to PM. Your PM to me was 'Hi ripsaw , just checked ac voltage 21.3 20.5 20.5 at idle what you think? In the interest for everone, I reposted what went on with PM and to attemp to make it make sense cut some also. Failed to note that grounding additon and assumed voltage was low do to you checking it at idle rather then at 2000 were all test should be made. Sorry.

Thanks Ripsaw, at least I learned more about my bike and could carry on an intelligent conversation with tech . Had it been the regulator only I could have handled that but I believe I will leave stator repair to pro's .Thanks again.

Good deal - as Dirty Harry said "a Man's gotta know his limitations".
If your not up to it better to let a good Indy or Harley Tech tackle it.

Just wanted to update on stator failure, tech broke into primary and found stator fried. Primary oil was also burned black . Oil had a very bad smell also.Replace stator and regulator. Retested battery and all is good. Just wanted to thank you guys for all the info.
