    Testing VR and stator health

    Is there a definitive procedure to test the voltage regulator and the stator, separately? I made a 250 mile roundtrip journey on my '08 XB12Ss last weekend and the CEL came on the return trip. Pulled over at a gas station to fuel and feed, bike wouldn't start. Had to get jumped. Once running, I noticed that running the engine below 3000 RPM resulted in the CEL, for sure. If riding at 3000+ RPM sustained, the CEL would go away. Thinking that the battery may be weak, I replaced it with a new one - no luck, same issue. The engine used to charge ok above 3000 RPM, but now it's doesn't seem to be charging well, if at all, regardless of RPM.

    I'd like to test them out independently and definitively.
