Headlight power??

[Apex short track]

I have a 05 Rs Rage (vector) that needs a stator. It’s a big job so I will do it at the end of the season. But my stator is making 7-8 volts( suppose to be 45) ac volts. How can that be enough to run the lights and dash lights because they work fine. Is there somewhere else they are getting power ? It can’t be the battery because it would go dead and it doesn’t when riding. Any help would be nice

what's the battery voltage at high rpm?

what's the battery voltage at high rpm?

Around 12.05 volts and then 12.5 when shut off so obviously not charging

Yes, definitely not charging and your output voltages indicate a bad stator. A carb'd engine doesn't drain the battery like a FI engine but even with a good, fully charged battery the lighting, ignition coils, carb heaters, ECU and handlebar warmers will eventually drain it. Without the stator charging the battery these engines will eventually shut down.
