Not so common, I agree with WD Forte and Petemate on this one. Common failure would be no charging = burned RECtifier. When having a combined REG/REC unit, it is rather rare for only the REGulator part to get damaged and the RECtifier (diode) being completely alright.
I'm not saying it can not happen, but it would be rather rare. ____________________ '87 Honda XBR 500, '96 Kawasaki ZX7R P1, '90 Honda CB-1, '88 Kawasaki GPz550, MZ 150 ETZ

I ordered the first link you wrote.
Seems too good to be true price wise tbh. But I figure even as a diagnostic aid its worth the few quid.
Yes Ive noticed the low idle, was one of the first things I adjusted.
Since Ive got your attention, any tips on cleaning up the grounds etc. and possibly routing a new ground from the battery? I'm going to look for this Hayes manual. ____________________ Push bike with a 80cc jerry rigged 2 stroke---> CBR125R ---> GSXR600 ---> Ducati 1098SF |

Most of the time the best thing you can do to your motorcycle is to ride it and rev it to the rev limiter every now and then, to clean the combustion chambers, spark plugs and head canals. People do not realise that, especially car owners. Using your engine at low revs all the time, and doing only short trips, you are actually hurting it. ____________________ '87 Honda XBR 500, '96 Kawasaki ZX7R P1, '90 Honda CB-1, '88 Kawasaki GPz550, MZ 150 ETZ
