Chris I have a cb650sc with the same issue. The stator doesn't turn on unless the Field effect coil tells it that the battery needs to be charged... My bike would only run for 12-15 minutes then I would have to charge the battery again. If I was in the position where I had not replaced anything yet... I would just go to ricks and swap out the VRR, ( Voltage Rectifier, Regulator) It was like 120 bucks and my thoughts were that the Field Effect coil gets turned on my the Silicone control rectifier in the VRR. I would up putting a stator in it and it didn't fix the issue. So I put in the VRR and new battery, I hope it helps.
