Mike,

My ST2 had a similar problem, which proved to be the voltage regulator.

The symptom was a flat battery but when the charging system was checked everything was OK, I changed the battery but the problem re-occurred, after changing the regulator it ran fine for many more miles.

My conclusion is, that whilst the regulator checked out OK when 'cold,' at higher temperatures (Italian summer) it was failing to produce suficient voltage to charge the battery.
