I've bought a new battery and everytime I go to start it it runs for a few minutes then shuts off, it it the voltage regulator if so how do I test it? Help!!

^^^^ what john said above and using an accurate multi-meter start your bike. battery needs to be fully charged. place multi-meter on DC volts....NOT AC.....DC volts. place leads on proper battery terminals and hold rpm @ approx. 2500rpm. if you don't see something between 13.1 and 14.4 volts you have a charging system issue. that is the easy quick test.
Did the battery come charged or did you have to add the acid and charge it?
no charging its at 12.3 and drops.
not charging. test VR with ohms specs from manual and multi-meterno charging its at 12.3 and drops.
test alternator(stator) with AC volt specs """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
one or both are faulty
also before you start throwing parts and labor at it remove front pulley cover and check the #77 connector. they are known to fail or become corroded and cause problems.
My #77 connector failed this weekend and caused the bike to shut off. Hardwired everything in and its back to charging the battery as it should. Simple fix. Definitely check that first
How do you determine if it's the regulator or stator?
It explains it in the manual. Also I want to say that there is a video on YouTube that shows how to test each.
Do you guys know where I can purchase a stator, don't want to pay this guy 150$ plus labor. In upstate NY
