stator question

My motor bike isnt charging and there is no headlights. Ive checked the wires for continuity and i have 3 wires which all show that they are grounded. If i connect the white wire from the stator  to the yellow wire on rectifier it shows current of 0.3 and so. Ive also tried this while disconnecting the rectifier and disconnecting the stator wires. Just checking the wires shows that that yellow and white from the magneto all ground to the yellow wire on the rectifier. Does this mean new stator needs, thanks

If you suspect a bad stator, open her up and have a look. If you see burnt coils, then there's your confirmation. 

 

I spent months trying to diagnose why my bike wasn't charging, with the battery, rectifier, stator, loose connections as potential suspects.

 

If I'd just taken the 20mins it took to remove the side fairing, unbolt and remove the engine cover, I would've seen a stator with burnt coils that needed replacing. 

 

Instead, I did it the other way around. I bought a new battery, had the mechanic check the rectifier etc etc etc. 

 

 

Open her up and have a look.
