The connection is under the tank inside the rubber sock thing that looks like it should be sitting on a distributor top. Is there anything inside this sock I could have disturbed causing the low charging rate?When I repaired my ignition block, I found that there was a lot of corrosion in the connector block you are taking about. A poor connection there could explain why it wouldn't start for you and recent work in that area would have contributed to your problems. I don't have the wiring guide handy but I don't think that the reg/rec goes through that junction so it looks like you might have more then one problem.
12.8V an hour after coming off charge indicates your battery is healthy but 12.8V with the engine running is too low. Could this have been measured when the battery was flat and the bike was having to charge it? Repeat the test now that the battery is full, if it is still only 12.8, then you need to think about replacing your reg/rec, if it is 13 or more, then it may have been a glitch, keep an eye out but it was probably a once off.
