So I went for a 2020 ride today and found that in a little over an hour with the heated gear on high kills the battery. I was able to push start the bike, but the "high" setting on the gear drains the battery running down the road. Are there any higher output stators that would support the heated gear for my 2014 standard?
How many watts combined do you use on your heated gear ?
I only use a Gerbing heated jacket liner and never had a problem.

Interesting, whats the mileage on your STD?
Also, before addressing the stator, have you tested the battery?
I feel like although it may not solve the charging system issue(if you really have one) It certainly is a much easier job to complete if it were a faulty battery
On all jap sportbikes its fairly common to experience RR/Stators malfunction at some point, I'd do a full check on all components before ordering parts.

I have a Firstgear jacket liner and heated gloves and have no problem running them on high.
I too have a first gear heated jacket liner and have run it on high with no issues, although I usually wear it while riding the FJR, I have worn it on the CB on occasion. If your battery in your 14 is original I would certainly have it checked. I replaced the original battery in my 14 in 2018 when it died on me in a gas station and I had to push start the bike.
I run heated grips, gloves, and jacket liner on a CBR250R with no problems, and it has a small stator and battery. I agree with comments about checking the battery.
I have Tourmaster gear and ran gloves, jacket and pants on high. (Single controller) Looks to be around 11 - 12 amps on high for all of it.. Approx 135 watts. The bike sits on a CTek battery tender at home and looks like it is perfectly happy. I also had a 3BR USB Power plug with my phone plugged in for the ride as well. It can't be more than an amp or so. I need to get a volt meter to keep an eye on it at the minimum!
The bike has around 10K on the clock.

I'd suggest an ammeter, not a voltmeter.
I too gloves and jacket no problem. Pants too? maybe a little much...
