First the battery went dead and wouldn't hold a charge, left me stranded out in BFE Saturday, then the voltage regulator started going out, now on order from Zanotti, and this morning, the darn barrel lock on the steering column rolled backwards halfway, leaving me unable to lock the fork. I had to find a maintenance guy at work with a belt sander to modify my key so I could lock it. If the seat falls off while I ride home, I'm putting it out to pasture (not really).

 

Time to get a 09.

 

Your regulator caused the battery problem.
