Are my Revs right?

None of the bikes I’ve owned put any charge into the battery with the engine idling. If you’ve fitted a new battery and it’s not charging, you need to get the alternator tested.

I revved the bike and on reading up the reading from my volt meter should have been 14.4v it was 12v
 
Most likely either a bad rectifier/regulator or a wiring problem (corrosion in connectors is a favourite). Worst case the stator is open circuit, but this is rare on small engined bikes.
