i'm not to familiar with the charging system on the honda and I could use a little help.Ok you got the battery,from mthere you got the coils,then i'm lost. This is what happens I put a good battery in and it wont stay charged. I put the battery on the charger for the appropiate time and the thing will still die out any help will be very appreciated

the stator is bad...you don't sound knowledgable enough to change it...take it to a honda shop...costs about $125

If the motorcycle is being ridden quite a bit and not keeping its battery up, then I would imagine the stator has burned out, or the rectifier is bad. (The stator is the outer winding of the alternator and typically, it should put out about 40 volts AC at 3000 rpm on each of the three fields or windings. The rectifier changes the AC to DC and drops everything to about 14 volts at similar rpm.)
If the motorcycle is sitting a lot, you may need to invest in a battery tender or "maintainer" which will sense when the battery is becoming low and kick on and charge it. Most motorcycle batteries will not last out a winter without some charging. Also, most motorcycle alternators will not "bring up" a dead battery...not enough power output. Hope this helps somewhat.

Most bikes of this vintage use a 3 wire stator. To check this you need an ohmmeter (or multimeter set to read ohms). Find the 3 wire connector (most bikes use three yellow wires but not all) and unplug it. Is the connector all ugly and melted looking? (Very common) then it might be your lucky day, by cutting out the connector and either replacing it, or soldering the wires back together makes for a mostly permanent fix. If you want to test the stator, do as posted above. Probe between each of the three wires and see if the readings are consistent. So let's label each wire 1,2 and 3. Probe between 1-2 and write down the reading. Then probe between 1-3 and write down this reading. Now probe between 2-3 and write it down. Are they all very close to the same reading? If yes then the stator is likely fine. More details available at this link.

Your most likely culprit is the rectifier/regulator. The regulator portion tends to go first.
A Clymer's manual for this bike runs about $15-25. It contains compete details on how to test your charging system. Any bike shop with a parts counter can get you one (if they don't have it on the shelf).

OK if you look an their no wires broke are pull loose, it going to the the authnater, sorry on my spelling,

dead cell in the battery....slipping belt...or a bad altenator/voltage regulater....could be any of the above...good luck
