The infamous regulator/rectifier is what keeps the current steady. The stator makes all sorts of various power depending on the engine RPM's. It sounds as if your R/R has gone south, taxing your battery and possibly wearing it out (if not now, soon) and thus the current at the battery is constantly changing with engine RPM's. Put a multi-meter on the battery and check the current at idle and then at 5000 RPM. The stator papers "In The Garage" section will tell you what the voltage should be at those two RPM's. If it's not right add a solid ground from the R/R body to the negative battery terminal. If that doesn't work, you might need some new charging parts.Currently bikeless

how much are regulators and can you buy them usedComment

you can, look in the tips and tricks, someone has a "my regulator modification" post that should describe some other models' regulators you can use as well.
good luck!Comment
