Hi Everyone,
New to owning a Ruckus, but I've ridden and worked on bikes for a couple years now. As a heads up, the electrical side of things is what I'm weakest on so forgive if the answer here is too obvious.
Ultimately, my battery isn't charging
From what I found online, the 3 fat red wires out of the stator should be putting out 10v at idle, and closer to 15 when revved up. Below is a video which shows significantly lower number coming out of all three wires. 1-2v at idle and 5-8 once revved. Am I right in assuming this means the stator need to be repaired/replaced?

After recording this video, I popped off the radiator and revealed this MEGA rusty flywheel, but the copper wraps look good. Could this alone be the cause? I am going to try to use some evaporust on it in the coming days once I can get my hands on a puller and impact gun.

Looking forward to anyone's thoughts! Thanks in advance!
