Low voltage
You'll have to remove the compensator. There's a thread here on how to perform that. You need a big *** torque wrench as well. I just replaced my stator with an upgraded Cycle electric one.

Yeah, I saw that on a youtube vid. You got a Cycle Electric stator? I see that brand out there and was wondering if they were any good.
Odds are it's your battery or regulator. Do the tests mentioned in the electrical forum "sticky's"

I just went through this. Mine was charging high and low then worked fine for a week and then i was dead on the side of the road and had to get tow home... Regulator was my issue, changed it and charged battery up and all is well now. Thankful it wasnt my stator

Bad stator. Replaced it and back on the road. Thank god I had a service manual. Saved about $300. Also decided to try just regular 10w40 in the primary. 2 stators burnt up with fancy syn oil in there. See how long this one lasts.

You can actually have one side of the regulator working fine, looks like it's charging like normal, everything looks fine but the other side of the regulator is shorting a stator phase to ground. It ends up cooking the stator... again...
Doing the same stator job twice for a friend because of a wacky regulator.
