real simple. check to make sure the battery is at at least 12.6V. if not charge until it is. then run the bike and see if the battery voltage is at 13.5 to 14.5v at 3k rpm. if so then all is good.

You can also do a stator check. Here's a web site to help you out.

There's a list of steps to go through for testing the charging system in the service manual. If you don't have one, I can give you a link to where you can download it.

well according to the voltage meter the system isn't charging :( so I'm thinking I need a VR... it was working before all my welding on my subframe so I must have fried it with the welder :( I had it unplugged for the work but I had 2 little welds to do after it was all assembled and I didn't think it would hurt it to weld with it plugged in for those two welds... guess I was wrong :(
