No, 916 have lower-powered 2-wire alternator. From 1999 (996) onwards had the 3-wire unit which was better. It might be possible to use a 916 regulator/rectifier to adapt it to a newer model but the charging is marginal on 916 so may struggle on a newer bike.
Good news is that early ('94-'95) 916 didn't suffer the rocker problems of later models.
