The voltages on the new stator are well within range, considering the uneven idle. I did try reading the resistances across the regulator, as per the manual on this site, but my regulator is a 5 wire and the only stats I can find are for four wire. They do seem very irregular, though. There isn't a capacitor in there, is there?
Needless to say, I haven't replaced the regulator, but it was my understanding that the regulator shouldn't affect the firing. The fact that the batteries keep dying, though, tells me that they must be doing something for it. Depending on Killer Motor Sports' response at this point, I may be replacing that next.

The CDI or the pick-up coil on the stator effect the firing..either could be bad...
Scooter have two electrical systems AC for the engine and sometime the headlights and DC for the battery and everything else... but there are about 50 different combinations...
Check the voltage across the battery at 1/4 throttle it should be 13.5+ volts DC... any lower
and your stator or R/R is going or gone...

Okay, folks, this is really starting to piss me off. The charging system is definitely haywire on this thing, but I'm not certain how to go about fixing this. I put in the new stator and the outputs have now returned to the failed status that they were before. The charging system doesn't go about 12.2 V, no matter the rpms. The regulator doesn't get hot, but the voltage entering it isn't high either. Could I have gotten a bad stator from Ice Bear?
In addition, the regulator they sent me is not correct. From what I can tell, the regulator I have is for 150cc motors. Could this cause my issues?
Can an uneven idle cause stator output to be low? Both AC outputs from the stator go directly to my regulator. How can a battery dying cause the uneven idle when ignition power comes directly from the stator? My research indicates this could only be the problem if it is a DC ignition system, which it doesn't appear to be. Is there a way to find out if it is? If you pull the battery out of a DC ignition system, wouldn't the bike not start?
The vendor is definitely starting to get tired of me, too. When I sent a message to them regarding the incorrect regulator, I just got a message from the manager saying "I need to look into what happened with this claim and I will get back to you as soon as I can." That was a week ago.
My research into this R/R indicates that it's for 150cc bikes. Could Ice Bear have thrown the electrical system together incorrectly?
Ultimately, I need accurate readings from a properly working 50cc Ice Bear to find out if the stator has failed or what. All I can find is for 150cc and up.
