    That the horn makes a bit of noise doesnt mean your getting 12 volts...

    Did you check what i asked you to check?
    Read my posts, as long as you do not check the things i told you to check, the way i told you to check them, there is no way of knowing whats wrong.

    Once again:

    CHECKING THE RECHARGING
    Start the engine.
    Using the multimeter, set to D.C. volts, check the
    battery voltage.
    At 6000 rpm the voltage reading should be between
    13.5 and 15 V with the headlight on low beam.

    CHECKING THE GENERATOR
    Disconnect the yellow wire from the regulator.
    Start the engine and run it at 6000 rpm.
    Using a tester in A.C. voltmeter mode, test the voltage
    between:
    generator yellow and ground wires = reading
    greater than 35 V.
    Using a tester in A.C. ammeter mode, test the current
    between:
    generator yellow and ground wires = reading
    greater than 5 A.

    if you poped the bulb it maypoint to youre regulater/rectifier being faulty if you can get a cheap 2nd 1 try that but charging problems sometimes can be tricky to correctly identify as sometimes you can get a false reading from a unit if another is not working right
