Follow the instructions in the 2 stickies under electrical. Just because its a new stator doesnt mean its any good.
Did you get a good name brand or go with a cheap one?
Were the magnets still intact in the bell?
BTW , I used one from Cycle Electric with their Voltage Regulator. A little more expensive but I knew I wouldnt have to go back in there

Oh boy, this is going downhill fast...
Between YouTube and the Stickies mentioned, I was able to troubleshoot and diagnose my charging problem. All you need is a good meter and some patience. Good luck and let us know how you make out,

1. Did you replace the voltage regulator?
2. What brand did you buy?
My indy replaced my stator and voltage regulator on my 03 Ultra. He said Cycle Electric was the best, so thats what I used.
Dont get in pissing matches with people trying to help you. Respect gets respect.

As others said. Get a good DMM, and dispose per the stickies in the electrical system sub-forum.
