That would be my impression at this point. Things seem to be working pretty good until we get to the load point. Then it starts sucking voltage. The most straight forward test is take the load off of the R/R and see what it does. I don't think it's the charging circuit (white wire) at this point so leave it hooked up. My gut tells me it's the yellow wire. Don't run it like that a long time, a few minutes to get some readings, that shouldn't hurt anything.

Thanks for everyone's help. Problem solved. The part that had originally gone bad was the stator. I tested it with an (old) analog meter, that's all I had. I put a new one in and when the engine revved up the voltage would drop. A friend came by and he had a new digital VTOM. When we connected his meter it was showing it was charging. I guess my meter is either broken or not compatible with scooter electronics
