"Check the charging voltage, at 2500 RPM is should be around 14.5 volts, if it's less than that it's not charging. Likely culprit would be the regulator, but there are a series of checks to be sure".
So I did that and it was at around 12v but wouldnt go up anymore no matter how much throttle I gave it. I let it idle and it dropped all the way into the mid 11's before I shut it off...When I was re-wiring the bike the first time the connector for the rectifier fell apart so when I re-wired it I had to guess which white wires to connect to eachother, since there were 3 of them all the same color I didnt think it really mattered.
Update: So I pulled the connector off my other bike and swapped it all over. My question now is do I need to be worried that I screwed something up? I cant start it tonight since its too late but Im going to fire it up tomorrow and hope it all works.
