Okay so I have confirmed that the stator, rotor, regulator/ rectifier are all good. the battery has been replaced with the proper one and a corrroded connection was found and fixed. the choke adjusted, the idle adjusted, carbs are clean and new plugs.
when i ride, all lights are dim at lower rpm. ive told mechanics this and they says its normal. i noticed the brake light on the insturment panel blinked a couple times (and NOT while using brakes. the brakes have been checked and are fine). does the brake light serve as aanother warning of some kind? do i have a short somewhere? maybe a bad ground? oh and i still cant start the thing without leaving a trickle charger on it or getting a boost. this is frustrating as hell.
