My '86 had only a stock 22 amp system that was failing under any load.
Upgraded to what is now a stock standard on many bikes with a 32 amp system.
I do know they come larger than that, but the 32 amp was affordable ... with correct rotor, stator, and voltage regulator all matched this system works well.
Do you have a voltage meter on that bike to check your output?
Any idea what size came standard on your bike?
And don't overlook the battery. Some last 6 years and some crap in the first season.

If you don't have one find yourself a factory service manual (I wish we got a dime for every time we tell newcomers that) and do some basic tests on your system. The book will tell you what you should have, help you work out what you actually have, and how to check if it is working.
Come back and let us know what you find.
