That very much sounds like a bad R/R...Do a search here and there is a link to troubleshooting the R/R.
Good Luck!

get a newer gsx-r rectifier, its working wonders for me!!! theres a write up on here somewhere about it......

 

the reg is supposed to be hot, that is how it dissapates the unused energy, but make sure that you have the bike above 5,000 rpms too, that is when the battery actually starts charging..also do this..

The honda rectifiers are notoriously bad, very small with limited heat dissipation.I just replaced mine with a 04 gsx-r unit, and the bike runs fantastic now.
