Burned up Stator

Burned up Stator, originally uploaded by rldannand.

This is the bad stator from my VStrom (DL1000K5).
It goes inside the engine case right above it (round part).
The headlights would suddenly dim.. then return.
I had to take it to the shop when the battery died and the new one wouldn't charge. The new battery would even discharge in 3 hours when the ignition OFF-key out.
