not sure if this will help. But its got lots of good info. I went over my 1150 and found lots of corrosion on the connectors all over the bike, like under the tank and any plug connectors. I spent a lot of time cleaning them and so far(cross fingers) no trouble.

I don't know if this would help, but on my gs850, the wiring went up the harness and back down again, it was for an option on another model with the same harness, they had a loop up near the tree that sent the power back to the RR, so i went ahead and bypassed mine, since it had alittle electrical problem at the loop.

Here was another post that talked about direct connecting.

the loop thru the harness goes to the light switch. IT needs to go direct to the reg Not thru the harness/light switch
This makes the third leg of the stator active all of the time.
During operation with the factory connection when you turn the lights off
it disconnects the third stator wire This can cause the third leg to overheat
