Strange about the click, I've never heard of an electronic reg. clicking when powered.
As far as the reg. test goes you have to have the charging wire connected to the battery, remove the A & F wires off the generator, then use a test light or VOM to look for battery on both those leads. If any volts/light present then the reg. is bad. This test may not work on your reg. because it is for Rotor/Stator type charging systems which put out AC.
A simple test for the gen. is to disconnect your reg. from it. Place a ground jumper wire to the F terminal. Hook a VOM, set to 20+ V dc, to the A terminal. Start the bike, raise RPM's, you should see around 12-30 V dc. Don't run too long. If the gen. test OK, hook the reg. back up. Start the bike again. Reading across the Battery you should have 13-15 V dc. at about 2K rpm. If not then your reg. is bad.
In looking at a wiring diagram it shows Org. to battery,Tan to A term.,Green to F term..
Is that the way you hooked it up?
