my dash shows 12.5 and right up to 16V opened up. put a meter on the battery and it only goes up to 14. something. is this a common problem ?

As msafi65 wrote, the gauges can be off in calibration. If your meter reads (13.5)14(14.5) at full throttle you are good.
My new beer holder spilled some on the trails - in it's hair and down it's throat.
Joe Camel never does that.
Advice is free, it's the application that costs.
mine reads 16 and goes up down as the throttle is increased/decreased
Voltage is supposed to change with engine speed on these type charging systems.
but not up to 16V it never done that before?
