On this bike I'm really wanting to learn some mechanic skills and how to do lots of things myself. If I wasn't this bad boy would have been in the shop weeks ago. It's been a frustrating process, but I think i'm gaining tons of experience
I didn't change the size of the sprockets. I will do that once I need a new chain, but I do plan on going to the track. Would highway size sprockets be decent at the track?
Just so I know... is riding in high rpm's specifically rough on the stator? I know it's rough on the bike in general, but does it specifically hurt the stator when doing so?
THE BIG QUESTION IS...
would a bad stator cause my headlights not to turn on!?

depending on the diode, it will require a certain amount of forward voltage to "jump", from what your saying, your stator is the cause of the headlights not working and battery discharging.
