Thanks for the comments, gents.
Unfortunately, not my first rodeo. This afternoon marks my third stator replacement. Already replaced the r/r with a mosfet one early last year. Soldered wires, no connectors. Battery is relatively new. Have the VFRness installed. The curse followed me from my '97 to my '03.
Going to run a big ol' ground line directly to the battery this time as well. Was just musing about "if some is good, more must be better!" regarding r/rs. Fuck it, we're doing 5 rectifiers! https://www.theonion.com/fuck-everything-were-doing-five-blades-1819584036
Just getting frustrated with constant charging issues and not being able to rely on the bike. Makes it hard to go on any sort of road trip.
