To answer someof the suggestions; volt meter both on the bike and hand held at the battery read under 12 at idle. I checked the stator output and only got around 8VAC at idle and everything I have found says it should be almost double.

Tommy120, not sure if the stator can be pulled without taking the inner primary off. If anyone has other insight I would appreciate it. I just got up and have some time today to look into it. Thanks again guys.

Thankfully I don't have to pull the inner primary. I went and bought a stator based on the poor voltage reading from the stator (8-9 ACV at idle when it should be 18-20). Hope to tear into it tomorrow. I will post results when I am done. Try to post some pics if I can swing it as well. Thanks for the responses guys, as always its brey helpful.

Just trade the damn bike in ya cheap bastard!

 

But I'm learning too much!!

 

It was the stator! Pulled everything apart this morning. No severe, obvious damage. Couple of areas that look like they could have gotten a bit warm, but, there was a posting here with pics and that stator was cooked; not mine. I guess the difference was his wasn't putting out anything, mine was. Got the new one in and buttoned up. Good solid 14+ volts at idle at the battery and 22+VAC at teh stator output plug. Compare that to battery power at idle at the battery and only 8VAC at the stator plug.
