Buy a multimeter from Home Depot ($20). Fully charge your battery. Test the voltage on your battery. If it isn't between 11 and 14 volts, you need a new battery. If it is between that, your battery is okay and you need to look at your alternator. Run the bike and check the voltage going into the battery from your alternator. You should have about the same voltage as before. If you don't, you need to replace something on your alternator. If your regulator is bad, your bike probably didn't start or got fried when you first tried to start it. Those are the 3 parts of your charging system.
The quickest way I've found is to connect a DC voltmeter to the two battery terminals. Start the bike, and read the meter as you rev the engine. It should climb as engine RPM does, to a maximum of about 14 volts.
