An 8-pole stator has over 100 watts of output. If you have running lights or an electric choke, it will take away from your capacity. Convert to manual choke and run a switch to marker lights if you want them.

The stock rectifier's purpose is to charge the battery and do nothing else. If you run lights off the battery, it will fail due to load. If you are set on running off the battery, get a regulator made for a GY6 with DC powered CDI or for a CN250.

An upgrade of stator will require you upgrade your power and ground leads if you want to pull more load, otherwise you will burn up components.
