OK new stator is in i can disconnect battery now and the engine still runs so definitely the stator was bad. now i was hoping that would solve my other problems to but didn't. i don't ride at night much but my headlights don't work and i can only start the bike with the clutch pulled in (wasn't this way new) the tail and brake light work. is there a fuse or relay for these? i changed the neutral sensor before but didn't help
i can rebuild or troubleshoot almost any engine but am horrible at electrical
