Sorry Ed, fluctuating magnetic fields are very efficient at creating heat. In fact they use them in production welding.
Have you ever touched a hot transformer in a power supply? That heat is caused by the fluctuationg field.
In an EVO inner primary the only cooling is the engine oil and that doesn't bode well for the varnish used as the insulator. As Derek said, a bad battery will kill a stator because it draws more current thus causing heat expansion, in turn (over time) the insulation fails and viola,
ya gets a new stator.

Found out that my stator problem was caused by my deteriorating clutch hub, the little pieces of metal that came from its inner splines got around my rotar and into my stator, completely destroyed my stator. All fixed now $800.00 later, and on my way to Sturgis!?!?!

That sure sounds like like a good way to put a damper on a good time, and the billfold.

yeah I spend most of my time looking for parts, gaskets and oil and by the time I was finished we had one day left before we headed home:(
