As mentioned, best to run through the stator papers. As they say, "to check is to know".
Having said that and having been through it myself a time or two, sometimes it can be as simple as corroded or dirty connectors. With my bike, the connector to the R/R was corroded. Switching to new spades and cleaning the contacts on the R/R sorted things out.
Statistically, it seems to me, the most common part to fail is the R/R but again don't jump to this conclusion until you verify it.
Check and let us know what you determine.
Good luck.

if on the other hand you are trying to diagnose you bike, at least do a quick test
