IM CONFUSED
You should have anywhere between 13v and 14.5v when the engine is running. If you have 12.6v which is most a good battery will have, (2.1v per cell) then your not charging. Check your voltage coming out of your voltage regulator. It should be about 14 to 16 when revved. If not chances are that's your problem. Although it could possibly be your stator also. You will need to look in a manual and do a resistance check to make sure there isn't a open or short in your charging coils.
And like mucky said, make sure its not a weak or bad battery. I've had one battery in my day that would actually pull a load when attempted to be charged. It was on a streetbike that I replaced all charging components on, and come to find out it was the battery all along. Lessoned learned.
