I have done the wet mod a while back and have had no e-start issues since including our ride Saturday. Later in the day I rode the bike using the kickstart initially but then the e-start to re-start it. It tried to turn but battery sounded low. Battery showed 11.71, so I put a charger on, hit the button and it fired up. I then tested the battery when the bike was running and confirmed it isn't charging.

Should I assume the stator is not working or where should I begin looking? I am not the best with electrical, so be patient.

Thanks

Your stator is working if it runs because you're suppling juice to the coil. If your measuring the same voltage across the battery static as you are running then your charging circuit has a problem. I would start from the battery and work your way back checking all connections and grounds making sure they are not loose or corroded. I know there should be a 10 amp fuse that you could check and your model uses a voltage regulator but I don't know if these are tied into the charge circuit. Wish I could help more!
