93 Model-RR bad?
On my way home from work Friday and my sweetheart started stuttering about 4 miles from home. When I stopped at a stop sign about 1/2 mile from home it completely died, dash lights and everything. I was so close to home, and my truck was already hooked to my camper, so I just pushed it on home(Yes, my thighs are sore!).
Charged the battery today and started the engine. With the voltmeter, I got 11.3 volts at the battery, all the way to 5k on the tach. I'm sure it would have started dropping the longer I ran it. No increase in volts at all.
1. Are there any other tests I need to perform?
2. If it's the RR, where can I get a good quality reasonable priced plug and play unit in the US?
3. Is the RR on the right side under the seat, behind the rear plastic?
I have been on the go lately, but I did do a search this morning and have read a little bit. Just hoping you guys can help me cut to the chase about what I need to do.
Thanks guys!! My Hurricane has given me 25,000 trouble free miles(65,000 total miles), so I guess it was about time something temporarily put me down on riding her. Hopefully, not for long though!!

left side under rear tail fairing, check the intermediate connector too it usually get's
grunged up pretty good too.
My pref is the UK Electrex version, but
Here's a budget one (probably one of those Chinese made ones like on ebay) from a
US reseller

Did your battery get toasted (boiled off ) Ronnie ??
If so ya might have to consider a fresh one to go with the new R/R

From the title, I thought this was about the 93 900RR. On my 1990, the ground wire from the R/R (Green w/ black stripe) is grounded to the fuel level sensor. Yucks. I ran a ground wire from the R/R right to the negative terminal of my battery. I would try that first.
