You can run on the battery no problem. With a fully charged battery you should be able to get though a good portion of a full tank of gas.

To measure is to know.

The less power you use the longer it will last if you're going to run it total loss.
Obviously it's safer with full lighting though..

"Thank you officer, I was not aware that my headlight was burned out. I'll replace it right away." Seriously.

I had an aftermarket stator on one bike that put out 60v AC on all three legs & it worked fine.... (1000G).
Plus you are at 4k rpm not 5k rpm so it will be a bit lower (the 5k rpm figure is usually about 70-75v).
I put about 15k miles on it with that stator & who knows when it was changed out...
I would be more worried if one leg was a lot different to the other two.1980 GS1000G - Sold

Ricks stators are excellent, unfortunately, Ricks or any of the other after market R/Rs are not much better than the stock Suzuki R/Rs and can easily fail quickly and damage their associated stators. You have to match your new after market stator with a known good type of R/R. There is tons of information on this site about that subject. Do not use the Ricks R/R even if they replace it.http://www.thegsresources.com/_forum...ine=1440711157'78 GS1000E, Dyna-S ignition, Dyna Green Coils, K&N pods, Delkevic SS 4-1 exhaust, Dynojet Stage 3 jet kit, Russell SS Brake Lines, Progressive suspension, Compu-Fire series Regulator 55402 and Advmonster cree LED headlight conversion.

unlike a large amount of CB honda's.
crash damaged and the magnet(s) becoming loose is a different story.
