Im back. Little quad

Yesterday I welded the frame back together, and welded the muffler back on. Adjusted the idle mix, took the front rakes apart. Pivot points looked like they were never greased from the factory. Works way better now. I checked the output of the charging circuit, and with some reving, showed 13.2 volts back to the battery. I was hoping for 13.5+volts, but it is charging. But seems to go back to battery when holding rpms. Not idle , above idle. Is this normal? Or is the voltage regulator sensing the battery doesn't need any more?
I totally expected the vr to be dead. Pleasant surprise.
I also checked the head light circuit and only works on high. The other circuit shows a couple volts. Is that for a small driving, parking light? The original smashed headlight had small bulb in it, so that's what I assume.
