Auto Zone's tester wouldn't work on it, although it worked fine on a new battery off the shelf. After I towed the bike home, I put the battery on my charger and my charger wouldn't detect that the leads were hooked up and I was showing over 13 volts with my ohmmeter on a battery that I know isn't fully charged. I take the battery to Advance auto to have them test it so that I don't spend $100.00 throwing a new battery at this thing and it not fix the problem. The tester at Advance shows it needs a charge but wasn't showing any other unusual signs. I'm going to let them charge it overnight and hopefully tomorrow I can determine whether I need another battery or a new stator.
`First time I ever heard of amps showing on an ohmmeter....

I believe he was using the term ohm-meter interchangibly with multi-meter (which, btw, will measure ohms, volts, or amps).

Yes, I have a multimeter and I still call it an ohmmeter.

I hate to get this thread back on track but just wanted to update it. It turns out it was just a bad battery. Charging system is working fine.

Nitrogen, helium go for the nitrous oxide. That way after you breakdown on the road and can't get it going you have something to help you laugh it off and chalk it up to fate!! LOL
