I'm having problems with electricals. First, bike wouldn't run right because of weak ignition, solved with iridium plugs. After that, bike wouldn't charge... I tracked it down to the reg/rec and replaced that, only to find out that that wasn't it. Tested my rotor and found it to be bad, so replaced that too... still no charge. I think it could possibly be my stator now. Using my multimeter set to 200 ohms I have a steady 1.3 ohms of resistance between all three yellow leads -- haynes manual says factory resistance is like .4 - .5. Is it the stator? Brushes are good, rotor is new, reg/rec is new, negative ground wire from battery has been cleaned and is making good contact, ground wire to coils/frame is clean and good. Other than that, I dunno what it could be... one of my turn signals isn't working and neither are flashing -  could that be a related short or something?

Thanks.
