voltage across battery while running
Ok so I got a sweet little voltage/temp/clock meter for my b-day and hooked up on the bike. Shows about 13v when off when running up to 17v. Is this normal to recharge the battery. after a while of driving it does drop down to about 14 14.5 ..

I get 14 while at idle but about 17 when driving it. Sometimes it does drop to 14. Probably the regulator huh?

This is Suzuki's R/R test for the 700 but could be applied to any GS R/R.
With the r/r removed from the bike, fins pointing up and terminals facing you, the terminals from left to right will be A, B, C, D, and E.
Negative probe on A and positive on B you should get 6-7.5 ohms.
Negative probe on A and positive on C you should get 6-7.5 ohms.
Negative probe on A and positive on D you should get 6-7.5 ohms.
Negative probe on A and positive on E you should get 50-70 ohms.
Then switch the negative probe to terminal B and place the positive probe on A, C, then D, you should get no reading. Positive on E should read 6-7.5 ohms.
Switch negative probe to C and positive to A, B, then D, you should get no reading. Positive on E should read 6-7.5 ohms.
Switch negative probe to D and positive to A, B, then C, you should get no reading. Positive on E should read 6-7.5 ohms.
Switch negative probe to E, positive to A, B, C, and D should give no reading.
The numbers have to be within range. It doesn't take much of an out of range reading to lead to the wrong output.

I'll check the levels tonight. I thought you meant voltage on the battery.
If it is the r/r where is the cheapest and best place to get one.

The early 80's Honda 400, 450, and 500 models had the R/R you need to look for.

Remember when checking your battery that <12.7 volts is a charged battery, >12.5 is 50% discharged and anything below 12.3 is completely dead. I learned that recently...Currently bikeless
