really great video thanks :) I am new at learning to fix my scooter and I am really enjoying this. My scooter is on it's second regulator in less than 8 months! It is not charging my battery. I tested it today as I run the scooter and used my multimeter on the battery and it did not move up in numbers at all. Sigh. I want to test the regulator now. So I guess I need to take the regulator of the bike or just disconnect it from the bike. Is this correct? What setting on the meter to i put it?

I don't know without looking at it. If you don't know how to check a battery, than take the battery to your local Honda dealer and ask them to check it for you.
