Art if your testing for ohms the bike should not be running , ohm meter set onRx10 , test the yellow leads coming from the alternator .outaside left to middle, outside right to middle ,and outside to outside .you should have very low resistance on all 3 reading if the continuity is good, and infinite resistance on any one of the reading if it's bad (I don't know how you came up with 630 ,it should more like 1 or 2 on the scale choosen.) If you want to check the output you need to change the meter to the 150 volt setting ,(be careful because output is AC volts)do the 3 tests as above, but you'll have to have the motor running and raise the rpm to about 5000 to get a reading each time ,output should be at least 100 volts AC each time. A quick check of the regulator ,would be to check the voltage across your battery while bike is off, (a good fully charged battery should have a voltage a bit higher than 12v (12,3-12.7) then start the bike and check again the voltage reading should be higher (13.3 -13.7) is typical .
