Clip the meter leads to the bike's battery leads, testing perfection requires no continuity at all, the real world says you may get a few ohms. If you get a significant reading disconnect the reg/rec, if the reading drops off the rectifier diodes are leaky.

thanks all, but we have a winner
bit sneaky posting in SV tuning, but I'm soldering a gerbing wiring harness (I feckin hate soldering
) so want to make sure I'm not shorting any wires.
So as you say set the MM to Omega - 200 is the smallest and it reads 1 if I short the multimeter it goes to 00.5 so just replicate that with my wiring & hope it stays at a big fat 1
Cheers me dears
