I think rectifier hard to see if "going to be faulty" or not... it either works or it doesn't (i think)
from the pictures kindly provided by PK Leong, the devices in the rectifier are quite "passive". they're not aware of what they're doing, they jus restrict the current in that way, converting it into DC.
if rectifier faulty, u should see about 12+ V across your battery if its still charged (when your engine is on)
otherwise, it should be charging up to about 13.8 V
if you have a lot of electronics on your bike, you might find that its lower than 13.8V, but at mid rev, you probably can see the charging go back up again.
so assuming u have a very well specced rectifier, producing about sufficient charging for your battery, you should see slightly lower voltage across the battery at low RPM due to low revolution and lower charging. voltage increases as your RPM increases, however, at high RPM, voltage should start dropping again due to the high demand from the coils and the injectors.
this is my experience with only ONE motorcycle engine. while i believe it to be quite the case for most engine, i cannot be sure that it applies to all (or even if my understanding is correct)
