    Wow, your stator is good. Sounds like your VR went bad

    There really isn't any way to test the Rectifier/regulator by the wires. The regulator portion inside of it redirects power back to the stator to keep from overcharging the battery once it hits around 14.5-15 volts DC. You will get numbers on the multi-meter, but they don't really tell you anything.
    The only real test for it is done by testing the VAC output of the stator, which should be around 40-45VAC at 2000-2500 RPM, and testing the voltage at the battery. It should be around 13-14VDC. If stator tests good and battery voltage dwindles down to 11.5VDC or lower, then the rectifier/regulator (VR) is bad.

    ok... so after messing aroud a bit with the VR connector i now have charge. CBi, great advice! so now when the bike is running with VR conncetor hardwired i have 14 volts throughout any RPM range. Is this too much. I don't remember it charging 14 VDC at idle before? Thanks a lot guys, you all have been so very helpful.
    I will be very happy if i dont have to buy a new VR :D
