Returning Visitors
If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.
You think it's that simple? run the stator tests and discover the bad part- lots of effort have been put into them, so take advantage!

As mentioned, best to run through the stator papers. As they say, "to check is to know".
Having said that and having been through it myself a time or two, sometimes it can be as simple as corroded or dirty connectors. With my bike, the connector to the R/R was corroded. Switching to new spades and cleaning the contacts on the R/R sorted things out.
Statistically, it seems to me, the most common part to fail is the R/R but again don't jump to this conclusion until you verify it.
Check and let us know what you determine.
Good luck.

is this a guessing contest?
if on the other hand you are trying to diagnose you bike, at least do a quick test
