I have a Rotax 912 and it is overcharging. I can't find anything in the manuals of how to check if it is a bad regulator. If it is charging does that mean it is a bad regulator?
Thanks,
Jack

Jack.
If the regulator is bad it will be overcharging by a large margin. Normal charging should be 14v to 14.5 volts. if your battery is too small or getting worn out it may not be able to handle a perfectly good regulator.

Failure of the Rotax (Ducati) rectifier/regulator is not uncommon.
(We are on our 4th, now forced cooled by a PC fan).
A french homebuilder did some research:

Thanks , that page was very informative but in your testing did you find a way to test and see if it is a regulator or alternator? On a car it is easy to isolate it to the alternator or external regulator.
