Like Scotty said......You should read 14.5 to 15.5 volts as rpms encrease. Your stock Yamaha voltage regulator is adjustable. Take the cap off, the is a screw and jam nut...loosen jam nut and turn screw in (to increase) or out. Make shure you put the cap on and recheck voltage readings, they can change.
