12 minute is not long enough to fully recharge a flat battery .. try an hour at least.
There will be a manual for your bike .. may be not this years model .. one that covers a few years ago model.. It should giove you enough information. Join a HU community near you and ask for help .. much easier to physically show you want to do then type it all in ..
The DMM should also have a manual .. read it and use the voltage function to measure the battery voltage ..
Battery at rest (bike stoped - no charging) 12.5 volts - if less = crock battery or discharged battery.
Battery on bike - above idel speed between 13 and 14 volts
if less - not charging? Try externally charging the battery up
if more - regulator/rectifier is toast.
-------------
Leave the bike discharging the battery for another time. It sounds like it is not charging the battery on the bike ...
