Static Stator Tests
Touch the other probe to any chassis ground. If the display reads anything other than “Open” or the symbol for infinity, and shows any continuity at all, then you have a grounded stator and must replace it. ... If these tests all produce positive results, then the stator itself is good.
How do I know if my stator is bad?
The most obvious symptoms of a bad motorcycle stator include no spark, weak spark, or intermittent spark (also known as misfiring). Hard starts and a poorly running engine can also be clues that your stator needs to be rebuilt or replaced.
Should a stator have ground continuity?
Yes, time for a new stator. The windings should not have any continuity to ground.
