Duralast AGM Gold

That one seems pretty expensive for a non-lithium battery.
If I'm not going to buy lithium, then I always buy the cheapest AGM YB14L-A2 that I can find. I very recently bought this one:

Pulled the trigger early based on this thread https://www.xs650.com/threads/what-battery-is-everyone-using.37060/post-372746
Even after putting a new battery and changing the rectifier - the bike starts and runs but the battery after cranking and revving wont charge beyond 11.8 seems there is a voltage leak somewhere and the alternator and the brushes seem fine too... Any clues ?
while idling , if you revv it to 3000 rpm, I should get > 14 volts on my battery but its ceils at 11.8 to 11.89. Rotors ??

So your mechanic replaced the regulator/rectifier combo and other stuff (?). Runs now, but not charging? We may need pics and part numbers to figure this out.

The battery is Duralast AGM Gold , the rectifier is Rick's - https://www.summitracing.com/parts/RSE-10-408
Ooofff.... you can make 3 or 4 regulator installations for that much.
What your bike do you have? According to Ricks, that regulator is for '80 and up bikes.... but '80 and up use a combined reg/rec. That Ricks regulator is just that, a regulator. Have read here.
Like JP says, show us some pics?
The picture from Summit is wrong, but that part number is the correct Ricks P/N for your bike.
Pics please of the wiring connectors you have
I'm not seeing where he said what year bike he has?

The original rectifier is here - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hooXklcqyx1Yv3CplLrIC7-Xf3vJxxzp/view?usp=sharing
Here is short video showing the wiring - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hpRizofmititQP-eV5iKgSUDQscG6YfX/view?usp=sharing
Yes it is the xs650H based on the VIN and the pic @jpdevol posted.

I'll make a suggestion suntosh, add all the pertinent info on your bike in your signature. That way it's all readily on hand when you ask a tech question.

Noted @Jim . I just got this beauty barely a month ago and I am just discovering what I have based on the questions you ask. As much as I know this is just as stock as it gets - an XS650H with all original parts. Just changed the rectifier and the battery. There are the first custom parts I have on the bike AFAIK
Sorry, my security settings won't let me access those links...
There are different ways to diagnose the issue. Attached is the procedure per the manual, if you have a multi-meter, just follow the steps. The issue should show-up before you get to the rectifier test (last) - if not, there may be a wiring problem (bad ground, broken wire)
