turn the lights on and check it -- you need more of a draw than just the engine running -- my old stock system runs 12.3 lights on -- lots of things -- box - stator - magnet in rotor came loose - wiring problems -- test at the battery and test at the plug in and the stator

I took sandpaper and cleaned the points in the voltage regulator today and now the gen lite goes off at 1500 RPM,i am still not seeing any change at the batt if i hold the volt meter to it and reving the bike up.Is there an ajustment on the regulator to up the volts from gen to batt. Driving here is a lot of short runs,mostly city driving.

Try checking out the water level of battery if it goes down or what? Also look out whether poles are corroded or else? I used to check batteries while motorcycle shipping. So, I know some do's and don'ts about battery cautions.
