Bike would only bump start
After sitting at work all night my VTR would crank and crank but not fire. IT Did Bump start in second gear and ran fine on the way home. It even started the next day. Is the charging system weak?

Stator Dead?
I checked the voltage from the stat or with the bike running and all three leads showed no more than 11 volts. I took out the stator and then I decided to check the resistance like the manual says to. It read within spec. I know that I wasn't gettin any voltage though. Is the stator bad?
