this may sound stupid but did you check your fuses since you changed the regulator? and i also agree that the stator and the regulator should be replaced together when either goes bad.

Hi. I had the same problem. My 929 would die/not start with the starter slowly cranking and fuel pump really weak sounding. Put it on the charger, it starts, but then either dies when I stop somewhere or begins to die while running. The Honda manual gives pretty good troubleshooting tips. So I check the stator and its shorted to ground. Buy a new one, and the bike seems to work well for a while, but then battery wont hold a charge. Found out the stupid shop I was buying from was giving me the wrong battery (part number) for the 929. Got the right part number battery and never had a starting issue since. Hope this helps. BTW: If you buy a stator some aftermarket ones wont have the factory connector, you gotta splice it, so I got the factory Honda stator which was 'plug-n-play'.

thanks. im at my point of buying a nother bike. I hate the problems my 929 been giving me. hayabusa time i guess

i had the same problem with my f4i when i had it... changed the R/R, changed the battery, stator was putting out enough voltage, narrowed it down to probably a corroded ground wire in the system but sold it before I found out for sure...

so i have the same problem, i just bought a brand new stator and regulator rectifier combo and put it in today. turned my bike on and bout 15min my bike shut off. i dont know what else it can be. tomorrow im gonna get the battery checked...hopefully thats it. im gettin real sick of this. any ideas of why it still would not hold its charge??
