Hi all,
I'm posting this thread as I can't figure out what is broken in my charging system. I have read multiple existing threads on how to diagnose which part in my charging system is broken but I am not able to figure it out (yet). I'll start with the storyline.
1. Rebuilt my bike (frame, engine, etc.), worked well and had a few first test rides. After the first 150km I ran out of fuel (didn't know) and was not able to turn the starter motor (so I thought about, and posted about a seized engine). After transporting the bike with a trailer and starting to take the bike apart I figured out it was a combination of no gas and a dead battery.
2. The gas problem was solved, but the battery not yet. I replaced the wiring harness (not the sub harness at the electronics side) as it was in bad shape. I also replaced the rectifier and regulator for a combination module. I hoped after that it was solved but unfortunately not.

3. As I couldnt see any issues on the stator or broken wires anywhere I tested with another new regulator/rectifier from the supplier. Same issue, but I ruled out a faulty regulator/rectifier
4. I tested the stator by seeing if the yellow wires have continuity to the frame (they don't)
5. I tested the stator green and white wires to the battery poles directly (I attached a video of this). This is where I am unable to get a the values provided by the book. (attached a picture). I do however get 13.7 ish volts at 3000-4000 rpm.

Thanks!
