What part of the issue would that cause? And how would I go about testing it for failures when hot? That bit - Once the bike warms up, the idle drops, as well as the voltage reading - stays around 12V when it now idles at around 1.5k, and can drop further to ~9V when giving throttle - After a few rides, when coming to a long stop, the bike will cut out and the main fuse blows. I'd measured the output from the reg/rec when it's cold when you first start it up and everything is running normally. Then measure the output as the bike heats up and starts to fail. It's just a guess but worth a shot. Another way to test the theory would be to unplug the connector going to the reg/rec and see if the bike fails in the same way as before or runs normally. If it still fails then the problem isn't the reg/rec. If it runs normally then it probably is the fault. With the reg/rectifier unplugged the bike will be running off the battery so the battery will eventually go flat
