If you take the rear fairing off your bike - the reg/rec is bolted to the frame at the left hand side.
There is a terminal block into the bottom of the reg/rec.
You should see 3x yellow wires going in, one x red and one x green.
Stuff the probes (carefully!) up and make contact with the spade connectors inside the terminal block - such that you measure across the red & green. This is the output voltage. Don't forget to rev above 5000rpm. This should be around 14v.
With the yellow ones - you need to change the voltmeter to read AC rather than DC. Put one problem either on the frame, or the -tive terminal of the battery, or the green wire - and then measure each yellow wire in turn.
