Last year I had similar problems. It was found to be a battery connection--the terminal bolt had loosened up and welded itself in the loose position. You might try loosening the terminals and the tightening them back up.

The stator is just a conductor rotating in a magnetic field. It's either working or not IMO. The rectifyer/regulator is electronic, I'd also think that it would die hard. What does that leave? Just connections (plugs-ins, cables, battery ground).

If you can measure across the battery terminals while the bike's voltmeter is reading zero, that will be a great help. If the hand meter tells you 14.5 volts, then there is an electrical fault in the wiring to the bike's meter. That may also be a loose connection or trapped wire, as it sometime reads fine.
