748 battery flat

Hi all looking for help on my breakdown today. Out on my 748 today and covered 60 miles no problem. Stopped bike for ten min then it would not start. When pressed starter button nothing but clicking from a yellow box on right hand side behind fairing. I switched the lights off and the clicking stopped. The i relised my battery was flat. RAC attended and put jump leads on and bike started first time but rev counter was eratic jumping from 1000 to 3000 revs. Checked with volt meter and it was reading just over 12 at tickover but reduced to 6 when reved. Got bike home on trailer and put battery on charge and cleaned wire connectors from regulator.
Can anyone tell me if its my battery or regulator thats goosed or what the problem could be.

Thanks in advance Doug
