If not charging then it can only be either the stator windings or the regulator/rectifier. The silver "box" with fins on it is your rectifier. Good chance that's the problem...Try another rectifier and put a multimeter on battery terminals. Check voltage when not running then check with bike running. Fully charged battery should show approx 12.4 volts. With bike running it should show approx 13 plus volts which will tell you that it's charging. Usually it will be the rectifier rather than the stator windings that stops it charging.

Ok heres my story. bike fell over on cage after failed stoppie and the guages started to short out sometimes they stay on and sometimes they are off. now when the gauges dont work i dont have headlights...

you have to check all your wiring for broken, bare or loose wires. you may have to get your dad or someone else to help test them if you can't find a visual problem as sometimes they will stretch and break inside the plastic coating which will only be found doing a continuity check.
hope this helps

hondas have a weakness in the regulator rectifier unit on quite a lot of models,if the lights are not brightening when the bike is given the throttle its most likely failed,if u have access 2 a multimeter test the battery,the battery should have around 12 volts with the ignition off and with the bike started the voltage should go up 2 around 14 or 14.5 when the bike is given the throttle,if it doesnt your reg rec unit has failed,hope this is of help.

Bike engine light came on shut bike down wont start battery level is 10.6. Everytime I try to start the bike I get a code 0005 raw or so I think that's a code anyway. Any ideas what's wrong oh I checked...

Battery needs to be over 12v for the bike to start, with the bike running it will be about 14v
if you charge the battery and it wont hold 12v----new battery
If the bike starts and doesnt show 14v aprox---- new regulator

It should still be under warranty, sounds like the rechargeable battery has died, either take it back to the shop or buy a new battery.
