Well the amp test from the manual did not work. I did the test on two exactly the same Ike's and neither gave the result
I took a good reg and put it on the bike did not help

Place the red lead in the 10 amp jack.
Turn the selector dial to the AC amps
Connect the meter leads to the Yellow
and Yellow/Red wires leading from
the alternator.
Start the engine and let it idle. Reading
should be a minimum of 7A at idle.

If you can't get this reading,you've replaced the regulator with a new or a known good regulator for this model and still doesn't charge,then sounds like you need a new stator. Stators aren't cheap for this model. Ricks or Ricky Stators have the best reputation.2002 Polaris Trail Boss 325 stator | eBay

That's exactly what it said in the manual, but when I read it here I noticed the AC I hand to buy a new meter both bike measured about 13.5 amps I put the reg from my bike on it and it's reg on my bike it worked on my bike . The next step is to measure the voltage at the red wire comping out of the regulator I disconnected it and measured the battery voltage at the harness side of the connection but I think I am supposed to leave it connected. I was wondering if I disconnect the red wire coming from the reg, start the bike could I get a regulated voltage coming out of the regulator. It seems that the stator and reg both work but It is not getting the voltage back to the battery. Thank you by the way for the help

Regulator has to have the red power wire connected for it to operate properly.
