Default is my alternator knackered???

hi all..

my sv650s w reg wouldnt start the other day...

charged battery and still wouldnt go...battery dropping down to 5 or 6 volts when starting up...

fitted new battery today and started well...so i ran through charging sytem checks and got the following..


leak test 0.2
battery = 12.7dcv
battery at idle (lights on full beam) = 12.3dcv
battery at 5000rpm (lights on full beam) = 12.2dcv

I thought my R/R was knackered but went on to check ac output of alternator...and only getting 23v across each of three wires

I assume the stator is knackered but i find it strange when i measure coil resistance of alternator all 3 measurments are 0.6 ohms and none of them are down to earth...

is this normal.....do i need to order a new stator or would it be repairable..

cheers for any help
