If you have a manual it will tell you what type of readings you should be getting for cotunity to see if the stator is properly working. If you do that it will save you money before you go replacing it. At least then you would know if it was that or not.

Reg/rectifier is faulty or a fried battery.
Put a tester on it under load.
Should give you 13.5V-15.5V at 3000 RPM.
