What's the voltage after the bike dies?
When checking the electrical system, is the voltage going up with revs or are you checking it @ idle speed?

If the charging voltage is kept between the 14-15 volts, the charging system is considered to be working normally.

If the charging voltage does not rise as the engine speed increases, then the regulator/rectifier is defective or the alternator output is insufficient for the loads.
