UPDATE::
Thanks for the help, as for the update, its kind of a long story.
Bike is still dying. In fact, it died as I pulled up to the T to take my license test today. So, that was awesome.
Bike has ran for the past week or longer, haven't needed a charge. Also have only been riding it around the block.
All that can wait. Tested the stator using the manual and ohmmeter. Resistances on all 3 yellows are equal. Took the R/R off and tested in accordance to the manual. Pics below. Please correct me if I have used the meter incorrectly or anything
One lead to green ground, one to each of the yellows. All readings are around 700, with the meter in the 2000k position

Switched leads below...couldn't get a reading in any position...okay, not sure if that's what the manual means by one way very high resistance, and one way very low resistance...

Moved a lead to the Red/White connection as per the manual. Same thing. Around 700 one way, no reading? the other...

Again, when the bike is running, even up to 5k RPM, the voltage reading on the battery is at a total loss. Meaning below 12v, especially at 5k rpm. Any ideas???
