I'd say the regulator in your alternator is blown,check if this was changed when the stator was done,If so should be under warranty, Although if it's been in deep mud or water they way not warranty it. 18 volts plus is normal for shorted regulator.Let us know how you get on.

Agree with dctechno, I had the reg go on my lux. The thing was charging away and simmering away the electrolyte. It is a simple plug in replacement on the lux as it sits seperate on the fender.
