i ended up going to Rancho Cordova Motorcycle dismantling.(http://www.ranchomotorcycle.com/) I paid 80 dollars for a used one.

I sanded off the paint and applied the thermal compound used between a heatsink and processor and put on my new one and it's working now.

So I got stranded again and took my battery to get it tested and they said it's okay, just needs to be charge.

So I think my regulator stopped again. I'm going to test it tomorrow

So my regulator died on Sept 6. With the engine on at 3k+ rpms it was only at like 12volts. I bought a new regulator off ebay for 110 dollars and got on the 16th.

IT DIED AGAIN TODAY

11.8 volts over 3k+rpms.

Why do I go through so many regulators?????

Read or re-read all advice here

Additionally, remember if you have the correct R/R for the year of your bike then the reason R/R usually fail is because too much (electricalcurrent) is being demanded of them. This is ussually

So if the bike shop sold me the wrong battery would that kill my regulator?
