You can use a multimeter to measure the voltage - probably easiest at the battery terminals. You should measure something greater than 6 volts if the generator is working. To measure current (the same thing your ammeter measures) you would have to break in to the wiring somewhere and connect your multimeter in series (in line) and only do this if your multimeter has a high current position. I don't know what the "normal" charging current would be so if you try to measure the current be extra careful that you don't fry the multimeter.
