My 79K has a spare green wire like that too. Maybe they're made to accept a different flasher that requires a ground (I believe that color green is used for grounds throughout the bike). Anyway, I don't think it has anything to do with your charging problem.

If you're putting out a charge at 3000RPM (~13.5 to ~14.5 volts) then your charging circuit is good. I'd suspect the battery.
