Stator, should I replace

The battery DC lowers when idling and even less at 4000RPM. I believe if the charging system is working it should go up to about 13.5. So I unplugged the two yellow wires coming from the stator (dynamo in the manual) and checked for........ okay as I'm writing this I realize I'm not checking for AC at these wires. This is not my strong point! I'll recheck the afternoon when I get off work and let you know what I find. Thank you for your help.

You lost me.

Here you say the battery voltage is lower at 4000 rpm, in your first post you state just the opposite, that it's higher...
:huh:

Check this out, it helped me and is easy to follow. Make sure your battery is fully charged.

I followed the diagram and here is what I found. Yes I was checking the output wrong and yes I had a broken wire. I now have 60v outpur, not the 75 my manual says but I think it will be okay. Things seem to be better. Thank you for your replies and assistance.

Just out of curiosity,Bud...where WAS the broken wire?

just outside the rubber seal, outside.
