was relocating my S4 regulator today to give it a bit more cooler air by turning it upside down and also mounting it to a substantial aluminium plate to aid heatsink cooling may extend the life of the RR as on the S4 it hides behind the engine under the seat unlike aircooled monsters.
But i also found the 3 pin connector from the alternator to the RR was nearly fried and fused into a black meesy lump a few more miles and it would have taken out the Regulator /Rectifier and maybe the alternator ...ouch!!!!!!expensive ....but i caught it in time and replaced the offending connector which is cheap and easy to do..
I reckon it will now go on my monthly check list for all my Ducatis in the future ,
do yourselves a favour and check yours too.
