Follow up question

Ok, so I bought a new rectifier/voltage regulator, installed it, and tested it at the battery. At idle I got a reading of 12.5V at Revving the engine I got up to 12.76V, I let it rev for about 30 seconds to a minute (at most) should I be revving it longer to recieve the desired reading of 13.2V or is it possible that I have a deeper electrical short issue? I don't want to kill the battery by constantly charging it just to ride it a few miles and risk damaging the battery. The bike sat for a week without being started while I waited for my part and today it fired right up without being charged, so it sounds like the battery is good. I just want to make sure that 1) I am testing correctly 2) where to go from here if it doesn't sound like the rectifier is the now the problem? Thanks all, you have all been great!
