I started the bike, (it was already warmed up from my ride home), and clamped the meter's jaws on to one of the AC leads coming from the stator to the OEM shunt rectifier. It has clamp jaws that are attached, or can be removed for remote measuring. I wanted to see this in action so I borrowed this from work. That means the stator is always working "balls to the wall" and putting out max current.some to the DC system after the regulator rectifies and regulates it and the rest to ground. The difference between, a shunt regulator like our OEM and a series regulator is that the shunt regulator bypasses or "shunts" unused AC current from the stator to ground, even if our bike's system doesn't need the supplied AC current after rectification and regulation for charging the battery or running the lights, ignition, etc. I purchased a Cycle Electric series regulator from Hammer Performance and I will get it tomorrow and install it this weekend. About stators getting whacked I investigated and used Aaron's from Hammer Performance recomendation about using a series regulator rather than the OEM shunt regulator our Sportys come with.
