I can't comment on the ability of the CD ignition to handle the
upgraded stator, but the regulator/rectifiers in the KLR are of the
"load dumping" variety. This means the extra, unused voltage is
shunted to ground. It is unlike a car, where the regulator controls
the field current to the electromagnets (KLRs are permanent magnet).
Because all these parts operate as a matched system, a stator putting
out more voltage will increase the duty cycle of the R/R and may
shorten its life.
