Had to track down some electrical gremlins during this tank. Bike had the following symptoms: Would be riding when the check engine light would come on. Shortly after, the dash electronics would go out and the bike would eventually lose power until it died completely. All at speed. Turning the key off and on again would turn the dash on with error code 46. Tested the charging system. Stator had acceptable resistance across all wires, no wires short to ground, put out ~20VAC at idle and ~60VAC at 5000rpm. At the battery I was showing 12.8V cold, bike off. 13.6V at idle and 13.6V at 5000rpm. High beams would drop the volts until the bike died no matter the rpms. Decided the regulator/rectifier was the issue. Replaced with an OEM equivalent from Rick's Motorsport. Also switched out both headlights for LED units. Bike now gets ~13.8-14V at idle and 14V at 5000rpm. High beams do not drop the volts.
