hello I have a spare regulator which i replaced recently because i believed it was the culprit to my bike not getting power, is there a method that dealerships use to test them or would i just have to plug it into the bike and see if it is getting power? thanks

the voltage regulator aka the volatage capacitator is the gray finned rectangular thingy bolted to the frame under the front plastics. there are 6 wires going into it and it regulates power going to the bike. i have a spare and would like to see if it is doing its job (there are over 100 soldered tiny wires inside it, if there is a break in any one of them, it is fried) and am unsure of how to figure it out. thanks

Teedler...this is from the service manual

Pretty in depth about how to test it...all you need is a multi meter..

Hope this helps...
