i did the test on the r/r and it seems to be bad... with my battery only at 11.24 v , this being the problem is it normal that the bike wont idle or rev high and sounds like a shot gun when it backfiers?

im tryin to sell it and i wana be as clear as possible as to why it sounds like crap.

No I don't think that can all be caused by the r/r. Likely you have a carburetor issue, and perhaps an ignition issue as well. I'd start by rebuilding the carbs.

Yes, this can be the reason it backfires & runs poorly. The stock GS coils are weak at best & with low battery voltage it only magnifies the problem. Check the stator output first though as IT may be the problem instead of the rectifier. Ray.

LOL! From his previous posts it looks like Rapidray knows way more about these things than me, take his word for it over mine! 8-[

Before you go anywhere else on this, charge the battery overnight, with a trickle-charger.

Your discharged battery will encourage false meter readings.

Once that is done, you can do the full checks on the system.

What he said! I was assuming you would have already charged the battery. Ray.
