Why won't my 1999 XL 760 not start?

I have a 1999 XL 760 that will not start. I have put a new battery in it, Checked leads to the starter, and still there is no power. I suspect the stator is the issue because I have checked just about everything else out. Can the stator be the problem for having absolutely no spark or power at all? I have checked all the wires and pulled the CD apart but I still see no issues.
