Yep, mine had a stutter that I was diagnosing when it seized
I'll lay a pound to a penny it's still there when I "fix" it. My gut feeling was the reg/rec, but the stator you say maybe??? I was just checking the usual "free" stuff (blocked jet, bad connection, dirty pickups etc.) that you hope is wrong but it never is when disaster struck.
My battery has been completely dead once too which lead to further charging system questions and on a '28 is annoying as the steering lock won't come off.
Not that thats it's biggest issue right now
