Have had regulator issues.
Honda ones usally have been updated with a bigger heat sink.
That said, checking connection problems and cleaning and lubing with dialectic grease helps.
Also lubing back of regulator will help transfer heat in stock location .

I don't recommend using aftermarket. They cost less, but are hit or miss with the quality. I see threads here daily about failure of new aftermarket charging parts. Honda did have problems with their early regulators, but the one you have on your bike is a good design and works. I use the OE parts (I just got a set from partzilla and will be spending my Saturday installing them) and forget about them for 40k miles or so. It's worth spending a little bit more for quality and only having to deal with repairing it once.
If OE is not a option, go with whichever one has the better return policy.

Fix the problem.Starter valves close. The adjustment for starter valves is the flexible bolt on the left side of the moto.I tough that bolt was for the adjustment of throttle. But really not.That bolt close and open starter valves.
