Make sure the power for the auxiliary lights is not being taken directly from the battery. Never draw power for accessories directly from the battery. Always take power from a wire past the regulator/rectifier or the charging system will either boil the battery dry or damage your expensive sealed battery.Charge and load test the battery to see if it is OK. If there are three wires coming out of the alternator (like a Honda) you should check the three wires for continuity in an combination. You should have no continuity between any of these wires and ground , that is the indicator that says you need a new stator.

Take your battery out ... probably have to remove the seat to get to it. Two bolts at the rear of the seat, them the battery hold down clamp. Unbolt the wires and remove. When you get it out, take it to the auto parts store or to your Yamaha Motorcycle shop and get a replacement. The Yamaha shop will know exactly what you need when you give the make and model of motorcycle (you will not have to take the battery). You might as well take the batgtery with you as there may be a 'core fee' and if you have the battery, you can avoil the core fee and a second trip to get the fee back.
Simple.
