Glad too hear that you've now found the culprit, it's always good too hear the out come
Good news hopefully! The only R/R trouble I have had was on an old GSX1100 and I fitted an after market replacement. IIRC it cost me about £50 and was the only trouble I ever had.
Interesting, all this, because that is exactly what has just happened to mine! Running absolutely fine, fairly new battery, always on Optimate, stopped to fill up after about 50 miles riding and the battery was flat- well, too flat to turn over. RAC to the rescue with the jump leads.
I was going to replace the RR last year but didn't - for ease I think I'll just get another Honda one and bolt straight on. I'll try the Multimeter tests to check it isn't the alternator but at 43,000 miles and 9 years it sound like the regulator, having read the posts.
Any words of wisdom gratefull accepted but I think its all been covered already!
