Is this right for the charging system?

Put on a volt meter. Bike is charging at 14.7 volts with the headlight off. When I turn the headlight on, it drops to 14.2 volts. Does not matter how fast the RPMS are. Stock charging system.
 
When revved, that sounds right. You shouldn't be seeing 14.7 at idle, more like in the low 12's.
