Don't worry just yet; your bike is probably operating perfectly.

The stator and regulator/rectifier will charge the motocycle at 14.7 volts while the engine is running at higher rpms. At lower engine speeds, the charging voltage should be lower. As long as you don't exceed a charging voltage of 14.7 volts, the bike is charging the battery properly.

Immediately upon turning the bike off, the battery voltage will be a little high. However, after the bike rests for an hour or so, the voltage of a new battery will stabilize around 12.8 volts.
