Yes, I did try and charge the battery (newer one) but it showed a bad cell under a load test. The original battery came back enough (after charging) to get the bike started but the bike showed no charging while running. I wasn't able to check the alternator output at the plug under the carbs today. If the alternator is good, will it show 13+ volts (while running of course) when unplugged from the regulator or does it have to get energized from the regulator/rectifier somehow?
