I assume this is the stator you are talking about:

I have an 8 pole stator (7 battery charge coils and one ignition power coil) of similar design. I can get 55 watts out of it (about 4.5 amps) at fast engine speeds. Your stator is smaller so I would you can get about 35 watts (just under 3 amps) at fast engine speeds. You will get less watts at lower engine speeds.
You will not damage a stator by overloading it. Stators are inherently self limiting. If you load the stator with more than it can put out it just falls behind, and the rest of the needed current comes out of the battery.
The way to see if your stator is keeping up with the load is to do the following:
Remove the fuse going to the battery. In its place insert a current meter set to measure current on the 10 amp scale. Start up the quad and turn on the headlights. At idle your stator won't be able power the lights all by itself so you will see a net battery discharge current coming from the battery through your meter. Watch the meter and rev the engine up slowly. As the engine speed increases the stator output will increase and you will see the current coming out of the battery decrease. At some point the current from the battery will go to zero, *reverse polarity*, and then start to rise again. This zero cross over point is where the stator is able to power all of the load by itself without help from the battery. At faster engine speeds the stator is able to power everything and have enough left over to stuff current back into the battery keeping it charged.
As long as you can reach that zero cross over point with your maximum load then your stator is able to keep up and you're good to go. If you can't get to that zero cross over then everything will still work, but just keep in mind the battery is being drained while you're riding.
