Default Volt Meter on Bike

I have an 07 RG with 29K miles, when I am running down the road the Guages flicker once in a while and when I stop at a light the volt meter drops between 12 and 13 volts. If I touch the throttle the meter climbs back to 14. Was thinking is is the regulator, but any ideas where to look would be appreciated.

I would get a good multi meter and run test on your bike if it's really bothering you. Has this just started occuring and it did not do it before or did you just start noticing it. I would not rely on the dash gauge with out backing it up with a volt/multi meter. There are a few post on here alread on how to test it. Good luck.

This either just started or I just never noticed. I found the link you mentioned about testing. Thanks.
