Iv got a 2011 ultra limited. I think stator has gone bad. Iv read a lot of post on here about the OHm. And I'm pretty sure mine is bad but I hope someone can clear it up for me. When I ohm to ground all three legs were good. There were 0 ohms to ground and then I ohm to each leg and 1to 2 was .1 and 1 to 3 was .3 and 2 to 3 was .5. So I as I understand that this means I have a bad stator. And thanks for the help.

What else is it doing?
does it go to to 14.4 volts DC when reved up?
You can check that you are getting around 80 volts or so AC at connector from stator to volt reg. Depending on year this can be pain. But you already got connector apart.
Around 20 volts ac per 1k rpm, just rev it up until you see 80 or 100 volts ac.

Yes, it's bad. What is your DC reading at battery with engine running at 2000 or so RPM?
Reason I ask is just wanted to make sure your ohm meter is good or your doing it correctly unhooked?
Assume you're chasing an issue.
Make sure battery is good before doing anything. Then DC voltage at 2000 (13.5-14.9). Then stator unhooked and ohm readings, and then stator checks to frame ground.
PS.. welcome. And only as a suggestion, make your next new post over in the new member welcome area to say hello.
