you really need a service manual, and in order to see if the stator is functioning, you need to have your meter on volts AC, to test the regulator, you need your meter on the diode setting, and in my opinion i would buy a new battery first before doing nething else and then see if it's charging.

you could have a weak clutch spring. they dont have alot of pressure but not to sure if you should be able to completey close it or not. make sure when the bike is running w/ a fully charged batteru that it is putting out at least 13.5 volts. the book should be able to tell you how to test the parts.
