One more thing to check:
Listed in the Factory Service manual is a procedure to check your rotor and stator for good connectivity.

Go through those checks, and also look at the connection of the 3 yellow wires coming from your alternator going to your regulator/rectifier.  If there is any corrosion or burnt parts, replace them.  This is a known problem on a great  deal of Asian motorcycles.  I think you would have seen it when you replaced the rectifier, but I could be wrong.

Do a search on "3 yellow wires" and I think you'll find some pics.  We love visual aids here.
