Be sure to check all your ground connections clean them
Look for any sign of corrosion on the connectors
To check the Zener diode, set a meter to DC Volts and connect it across the battery, start the engine and raise the rpm slowly while watching the meter reading. Volts should rise to about 14.5V~15.3V around 3,000~3,500 rpm then stop at that level, even if the rpm are raised higher, Volts should only drop again when the revs. fall below the aforementioned 3,000~3,500 rpm.

If you need a rectifier-regulator, take a look at what Oregon Motorcycle Parts has. They should have something for that bike. If you don't see it listed, contact them.
