Daz. it all depends on the extent of the failure, you could remove the stator and find that you cannot see any damage at all.
Before you start replacing loads of parts which may not be required you have to condemn them by diagnosis/testing. Just throwing parts at the bike will fix it eventually but at what cost?
If you're not comfortable testing the stator outputs and resistances then it's time to call Griff or take it to your local Aprilia dealer for diagnosis.

Cheers Kawasakiinit...
Been reading ALL the posts on this, found those 'Brown Melted Connectors' behind the coolant bottle ( also white 2 pin plug near ECU rear seat, not half so bad though). Will solder & sleeve them was suggested.
All the same issues, lack of power, batt dying & missfiring etc.
Any particular reason for them doing this ? Stator/ Rectifier probs ?? or just poor quality plastic brown plugs ?
