If it isnt charging, most likely the stator.If it is overcharging, it is most likely the regulator rectifier.
Take a volt meter and put it on the battery as the bike is running. IT should be charging between 13.8-15 volts, depending on the model.If it is charging in that range, then check the battery itself. If it is new, probably not the problem....unless you got it from walmart! The battery should read 12.2-12.8. If all check good then disconnect the battery and check the voltage. Write it down. Hook up the battery and check it again, with key off. If you have a voltage drop, them you have a short or draw someplace in the electrical system
