Sounds like either the rectifier has gone awol or more likely the connector has burnt out.
Pull the battery tray away from the frame and you should see a connector block with either two or three yellow wires going to it. Chances are it will now be black and smelly
If it has burnt out, cut the connector out, bare the wires back to good copper and remake the connection either with bullets or a straight hard wire connection.
