Bike seemed to labor a bit starting this morning. Then when I went to lunch, it labored a little more. After lunch, had to push start it. Went straight home and put it on the charger. Took truck to work. When I got home battery had 12.5 volts. Started bike. Even at 5000 RPM, voltage only went to 12.8 max.
My question is: If I caught this early, can/should I just replace the stator? I have a 99 with finned R/R. I have not torn it apart yet to see if the connectors are fried. I also have not done the loom fix either if that matters.
Full Version: Stator crapped out!
I am so A.D.D. 
It's not the Stator.
Got 50 volts on all three at 4K RPM. I guess it is the R/R.
Anybody got one they would like to sell?

Sounds like your rr, like you said.
The general rule of thumb is that the stock XX r/r's are junk. Upgrade to an R1 r/r. Maybe someone here can clarify which year is best to upgrade to.

Thanks guys for the info.
Can the R/R go bad with out showing any external signs? There are no burnt or dis-colored wires or connectors, and no flickering or dimming of any lights.
Just a loss of voltage in the battery.

my 01 r/r just did that, no burnt/discolored anything. But all the tests in the manual pointed to the r/r. I got one off ebay for $40. There's an 2001 R1 r/r on ebay now for $49 plus shipping. What year is yours
good luck

I have a 99. The 01 won't work without some wiring mods. I think I'm going to look into the R1 conversion.
