If the stator ohms OK then set you Voltmeter on AC and have someone rev the engine to 5000 RPM and check the voltage between each lead (three leads, three measurements). Should read 80V or better (normally around 85V). If not then the stator is bad.
Do you have a stock regulator? What size and year is your bike?

the first thing to do before following the trouble shooting chart is to clean or better yet replace all the conections for the stator to the regulator/rectifier and from the reg./rec. to the battery.
also make sure the regulator/ rectifier is grounded good, A comon fix is to extend the ground leed for the reg./ rec. to the ground post on the battery.
