Hi, I don't know specifically for your bike but for the NC31 (Super Four) it should be at least 50V AC at approx 5000rpm.

I belive each phase (yellow wire) should have circa 65v @ 5000rpm between it and ground.

each one should be 50 volts at least...........if any are different or below this then the stator windings could be faulty.
please,god,....give me the chance to prove that winning the lottery won't spoil me!!!

yeah 50v sorry not 65! ^_^

Unplug each wire and check it to ground with the bike held at 5000rpm, should have around 50v.

Check all 3 though as it is very possible to burn out just 1 phase.
