Default Stator Failure

I got a '05 Sportster/883. Battery not charging so I checked the stator. Leads not grounded, correct resistance between them, but putting out only about3 VAC.
I replaced stator and everything is working again.
What the heck is wrong with that stator ? What failed on it? Any ideas for me, as it appears in good shape , except for no output ?
Thanks, Pete
ps: bike has only 18k on it, no abuse or heavy electrical loads
