When my motorcycle is running and I check the battery with a
multimeter it is only registering 11.8 and will not go any higher even
at 5000 rpm I replaced the Regulator/Rectifier 2 weeks ago with a new
one and it was fine registering the right amount of voltage now its
back to discharging do you think it could be a bad battery or
something worse?
If the battery was bad would it still register the correct amount of
voltage across the terminals while running?
Thanks..

I'm pretty sure any battery place will put their tester on it
for free. I mean the GOOD ones that differentiate between charging
system vs battery etc, not just some simple little handheld meter
crap.
