hmmm.... Possibly not then.

Try the red-neck charging system test;

Pull the bike up to a wall at night, note how bright the headlight is at idle and slowly speed the engine up. At some point, probably 1,800-2,500 rpm, the light will suddenly brighten. If it does, your charging system is most likely fine and you better be looking at the battery first. If it doesn't brighten, then the stator is probably shorting out or something else is going on.
