Was the headlight working o.k?
You need to make same basic checks before investigating further:

First, check the battery voltage with a digital meter with the engine stopped and everything turned off. Hopefully it will show between 11 to 13v. No need to disconnect the battery, just put the meter probes on the battery terminals.

Next, make the same check with engine running at faster than tickover but not revving its nuts off. It should read more (perhaps 14v) than the previous (engine stopped) reading. Don't disconnect the battery, just put the meter probes on the battery terminals.

The voltages mentioned above are just examples of what you may find. The important isssue is that the reading with the engine running should be greater than when the engine is stopped. A digital meter is necessary as an analogue one isn't sufficiently accurate.

These bikes have poor electrical connectors (as you've previously discovered) but the basic checks above will be the starting point as you may just have a dud battery or alternator or the charging or lighting circuit is faulty.

I have checked the battery voltage and seem to be getting all the correct voltages but the rear cover that covers all the wires is missing and is all wet could that have something to do with it
