Returning Visitors
If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Org/Wht wire is power to coils (same wire that powers the ignitor) and comes straight from ignition fuse (well, thru kill swtich) and should be pretty much the same voltage as battery voltage. You said you measured 9 point something there at the coils. TGhat right there is your problem. Coils and ignitor need more voltage than that.
But, is your battery voltage at 9 point something....? That is a problem that neeeds to be addressed.
(you have a battery charger?)
Or.. is your battery voltage good, and are loosing it somewhere along the way.
.
Sticking with one problem at a time; the 9.3 at coils org/wht wire. If battery voltage is 12 point something, then should have about 12 point something at the coils org/wht wire also, if you dont then have a big volt drop somewhere along the line. So , lets go back and track it.
From batt+ to to main fuse. Meausre voltage at main fuse going to ignition swtich (the smaller red wire).
Main fuse to igition swtich and back to the three fuses (head, ignition, signal), the orange wire. Measure voltage on orange wire at fuse block.
Then from ignition fuse to kill swtitch to coil, org/wht wire, which is what you said is 9 point something volts. Oh, when you measured that it was that org/wht wire (one meter lead) to ground (otehr meter lead) that you measured right? not across the two leads of coils, right?
You have 9 point something at ignition fuse (org/wht)? and headlight fuse? and signal fuse?
If is not charging... was battery low when you measured the 9 point something at coils?
Or did you have battery charged and measured 12 point something at battery at a same time measured 9 point something at coils?
One comment about "wires from alternator".
I suspect you mean the stator (in left engine case). A stock one wil have 3 differetn color wires, but few are stock anymore. Most are aftermarket replacements and typically will have 3 yellow wires. Each of the three can be connected in any order.
If you mean the Regulator/REctifyer (on bottom or side of battery box) that will have 5 wires typically.
.
Since you have voltage drop across the board, I would look back at the fuse box and see if that is where the problem lies. Voltage IN should be exactly the same as voltage OUT.
If it is not, you can count on finding corrosion on the contacts within the fuse box. It is fairly common, although invisible when the box is closed.
The box can usually be disassembled, the brass strips can be pulled, cleaned and polished, so they will be as good as new, then re-position them, close and re-install the box.
Or, just replace the fuse box with any other that will fit on your bike, solder the wire connections and away you go.
Charging System
Wired in honda regulator/rectifer(from honda ntv) and only getting 13.1 volts from battery reading.Had the r/r checked (diode test) all ok.Getting 85+ volts from generator.Put live from battery straight to live on r/r and readings jumped to 13.52.The white with green stripe from generator gong to loom and back to white with red stripe from original r/r what is the block it goes through?.Any other suggestions why she still not charging properly
Where did you connect the sense line? And what is volt reading at that point?
WHen you say "live", is that the scence line? or the positive R/R output?
