XV 535 Rectifier to be or not to be the problem ?

[plimb]

The lights on my bike went bright and blew, so i replaced the rectifier as advised by a friend.

What a job that was as it was siezed to the bolts,

And now the battery will not stay charged and it is a new battery,The voltage drops when the revs go up and at tick over it increases

to 13 volts.

Any suggestions of any other possible causes.

they will be appriciated Thanks
