Do I need to replace the stator, rotor, or voltage regulator.

I kept having what I thought were battery issues on my 2007 XB12STT. The bike is bone stock with 15K miles. A quick check with the voltage meter and I realized my battery wasn't charging. I pulled on the manual and start working my through it. While checking the alternating voltage out of the stator I found the the voltage difference between 1 and 3 was less than 5 volts at 2,000 RPM. According to the book it is a faulty stator/rotor.

My questions are

1. Does it definitely need a new stator? (I think this one is a clear yes)
2. Does it need a new rotor? (Do they even go bad?)
3. Since the voltage is low, do I need a new voltage regulator?
4. What do you think about buying a used stator?

Any help is appreciated.

Just the stator unless the rotor is damaged.

How will it be damaged?

magnets sometimes come off and attach to stator.

Quick reply....
1) yes
2) no
3) yes/no
4) yes

The reason #3 is a yes or no if money is a issue.... Buy a used stator swap it out and don't worry about the regulator....
Now if you buy new I would buy both if not all three.... Stator, regulator and battery.

: just a heads up if you buy a new stator check check the rivets to make sure they clear the rotor.
