I have been having problems with my charging system . If I do not plug the bike into my trickle charger at least twice a week the battery just runs down and will not charge but when down and jump or bump start the bike it runs fine . Is this a problem with the rectifier or something else . I have changed the battery and still not charging . When I start the bike and check over the batery terminals with a volt meter it reads 13.2 volts . it is drining me nuts .

 

i am willing to bet it is, seems there are alot of people with this problem, myself was one of them. i also had to hook up to a trickle charger every other day...replaced the reg and hasnt been on the charger in 4 months. fyi...they are $200+ you may want to get one off ebay for like $50, but who knows how long it will last. or at service honda:
