Unfortunately working with stator means copper wire coated with varnishlike insulation. So a multimeter is at a disadvantage due to the changeable nature of a tightly wound coil that gets hot and has current passing through it.

Look I'm not trying to scare you, it could and probably is just fine.

But they do fail. Mine went at 12yrs old, that's not scary.

They share part with ktm so replacement aftermarket is easy and cheap.

The symptoms are variable but a typical scenario is the bike starts to stutter when it gets warm. Then would die completely. Then cool a little and work again.

Just file in back of mind.

But by all means buy a multimeter and watch YouTube video on how to use it. Just be aware that coils are hard to measure (I've put them in a heat chamber that can prompt an issue. Sometimes).
