UPDATE: Got the parts and changed the stator. So far so good. Battery reading at 4k rpm's is 13.9 V, I did some rides. About 100 miles in all. No red lights on the cluster. Battery reading after ride with engine off is 12.5V
I tried to read the output of the stator at 4k RPM's but my multimeter gave 0L, which I guess it means 'reading out of range', but it doesn't have AC range as it should be automatic. Trusting this multimeter less and less. I may get a better one soon.
I was very close to pay $160+ for the Electrosport aftermarket stator when a cheap OEM take off showed up on eBay for $65 shipped so I gambled there. Not sure if it was the smarter thing. Worst fear is to loose a track day because of another burned OEM stator. Fingers crossed.
The stator cover gasket seemed to be in good condition so I kept it and so far no leaks.
The Yamaha liquid gasket worked fine too.
