The plug that connects my stator to my regulator rectifier burnt up... (3 yellow wires)

I just bought a new stator a month ago, it has been working fine, but then I smelt something burning on my bike. I checked the wiring harness and the connection from the stator to the R/R is burnt on one prong. (again, 3 yellow wires)

I checked the stator continuity and they are all 0.7 ohms between the 3 wires. They are not grounding out on the bike at all.

Should I hardwire the stator to the R/R or buy a new connection? 

If I hardwire it, does it matter which yellow wires I connect from the stator side to the R/R side?

Hardwire it and upgrade the regulator rectifier to sh847.

No, doesn't matter.
