Any help/advice appreciated

So....... Only do a very limited mileage each year on the road and last year the last October run out ended with no battery power following a stop for a cuppa and a trailer home. Bike has sat in the garage over the winter and in last week have attempted to fettle.

Battery - now charged and good 13.5V charged and spins the bike up on the button and runs fine

However, no charge coming through once running, volts on start up drop to 12.8 and then dropping further. Revving the bike makes little difference and I think charging volts should be up towards 14, they are not

Changed reg/reg and no difference so thinking stator next.

Is there a test I can do for this or what is likely to need replacing?

I think I have basically been running total loss last year, 30 min or so spins out and then back on the optimate have hidden the problem, it's a daytime MOT so no lights or indicators. The cuppa break and restart in the October run must have been too much.
