Exclamation Warning to those with HID's

So I'm at the dyno shop to get my bike re-tuned after I installed the MJS performance header (great quality BTW) and my bike is running lean and misfiring throughout the powerband. So with no tune and 2 hours later I'm in the garage with the bike apart testing the resistances and voltage outputs of this that and the other thing using the service manual. Come to find out I tested the resistance on the stator and luck behold no readings indicating an open circuit. I'm not sure about how long stators are supposed to last but the only thing that I'm running on the bike that's not stock is the HID's. That along with the starter turning the engine and the various other loads on startup probably damaged the stator over time.

So I have to ask if anyone on here has had similar problems with HID's and the bike's electrical system in general?

I bought the HID kit from Fsane Performance and I'm thinking about completely running without them or I could wire a switch in there and only turn them on when I'm riding the bike. What do you guys think?
