Getting 13.2 volts at 5000 rpm could be correct : it depends on the battery. What you should check is the current. It is possible that the bike charges correctly with another rectifier / regulator than the original Shindengen one which, in my opinion, is a bad regulator not protected enough and which, in any cases, doesn't survive a stator failure. If you want to change your rectivier / regulator, I suggest buying a compatible one at Electrosport (US) or Electrex (UK).
