I just want to post about the ongoing troubles with my bike.

I remember telling someone about the Electrex (sic?) uprated rec/reg for NSR250. They have the RR30 part and now have a newer one, RR58. I have the RR58.

Since this part is fairly new on my MC28 race bike, I didn't consider it a culprit to my electrical problems. I finally started heading down the correct troubleshooting path and checked battery voltage whilst the bike was running, 10.0V. Must be the stator because my rec/reg is new..... WRONG. The Electrex part was killing batteries. Mounted up the original and working Honda part (14.5V at ~5k rpms) just in time to kick some SV650 ass over the weekend.

For reference, I had the part in my bike for a few years but it's only seen a dozen or so track days and about 8 race weekends.

Jim, thanks for the battery. It passed the "ton" test.
