A very rule of thumb method is to get the bike out of bright sunlight, start it up and put the headlight on then rev the bike up. If the headlight gets significantly brighter then the charging system is working, to some extent at least. That may suggest a battery problem and is more likely to be so if the battery is old or the bike has been unused for a long period. It could also be the wiring from the regulator to the battery.
If this test reveals that the headlight is not getting brighter when you rev the engine then, as Ted says, you will need some testing equipment to pin down where the fault lies.
Good luck,
Geoff
