I'm finding that I have the exact same problem at the moment, receiving the same results as you have stated here. I spoke with an old-school motorcycle mechanic a few days ago, and he recommended to check the Rectifier first, as in his experience, they are the most likely thing to fail (at least in Australia, as the headlights on our modern motorcycles are wired to be permanently on, over-working the rectifier).
I did all of the other tests, and it appears that my bike has a loss of magnetism too, as the output is no where near the recommended 35V.

I did remove and resistance test the Rectifier, and it appears that the W pin (referring to the workshop manual) is dead, as I couldn't get any reading from it at all, let alone a result within spec.

Have you tested this as well? Could it be the cause of the problem, or yet another victim?
How have you gone so far, removing the stator?
Hopefully you've had a breakthrough!
