stator 'half-dead'?

stator 'half-dead'?
Today out of the blue (pretty sure bike was normal last time I rode it) my '13 ultra showed low voltage. normally it would be pegged at ~14 in the panel but now it drops as low as 10 at idle, and goes up as the RPMs go up.
Back to home I go, unplug the stator wires, no short to ground, ohms read normal, however the voltage it puts out on all coils is only 7.2-ish at idle, way lower than normal. is it a thing for a stator to be 'half-dead' like this, no shorts or opens but low voltage out of the blue?
no time to fix it myself so I guess off to the mechanic it goes tomorrow... sigh.

This past March, on a lunch run I noticed the needle jumping a bit on my voltage gauge. A little while later, it would read normally. After lunch my 2011 Ultra wouldn't start. Friend had a jump pack and we got the bike started, Ram some tests when I got home and everything tested out OK. I wasn't convinced. Ordered and installed a Cycle Electric CE-607 voltage regulator and haven't had a problem since then. Bike had 218,580 miles on it when I replaced the original voltage regulator. I have over 20,000 on the new one without any problems. When I see/experience a strange electrical problem, I try to track it down and repair it. FYI, I'm still running with the original stator on the bike.
I believe the stock stator is rated at: 6-23 VAC per 1000 RPM (check your service manual)
Run the engine at 2000 rpm. The VAC output should be 32-46 VAC.

4x20 is 80.
6-23???? If you want to insult me,get your crap together
