new regulator installed
« on: July 24, 2016, 12:06:40 PM »
I never took advantage of all the good info I got from all ya'all about re-flashing my weak/non functioning regulator and just went and bought a brandy new one from my dealer. I got to thinking that even if the re-flash worked, the part is 18 years old and may crap out at any time.

(I know, no guarantee on electrical items)

But I installed it myself 😀 and now have plenty of juice to the battery ☺☺

Oh, and it is a Ducati part.

Whoever said that you could "reflash" a regulator was wrong anyone.
And your model rotor can't be "reflashed" either.

New regulator is usually the only fix.
Good judgement comes from experience.
And experience. That comes from poor judgement.

I have reflashed a +ve earth system with a generator to turn it to -ve earth. (VERY carefully I might add!)  Do it with a solid state regulator on an alternator and I think you will end up with electrical constipation; it won't pass a current.
