Hi there, i just picked up a new to me 05 500 HO, i was told by the previous owner that he thought the stator was gone, because it wasn't charging batteries. I have gone over the bike doing the tests in the manual. I just want to make sure that the stator is done.
I have found that these three yellow wires leading to the stator are all showing continuity to ground.( first pic)
Can anyone tell me if i am correct in saying that it is cooked?
It passed the other test of having 30-40vac between wires while running.
Also unrelated to the stator, can anyone tell me what these two connecters are for. they were both hanging loose covered with electrical tape.(second pic)
