Hi and welcome to FixYa,

Charging problems could either be a stator issue or a failed rectifier/regulator combo. To check:

• measure the battery voltage with the engine off;
  
• start the bike and measure it again, it should be slightly higher;
  
• rev the bike, the voltage should rise as the RPM increases;
  
• measure the voltage by pairs on the 3 white wires from the stator;
  
• there should be AC voltage that increases as the RPM ncreases.
  

SOURCE: how do i adjust the idle on my 1995 yamaha virago

On most bikes and four wheelers, this is done by a throttle stop. the position of the stop is usually adjusted by a screw. Remove the tank. turn throttle and see what moves by the carb/ injectors. When you return throttle to idle, the moving piece will come to rest on the throttle stop. You can now adjust its position by turning that screw.

To me it sounds like the coil is breaking down and not working at higher RPM's. You can take them off and have them tested at a service shop.
