Possibly something else will work, no idea what though.

These guys  http://www.ignitech.cz/english/aindex.htm sell an aftermarket Ducati regulator but I don't know if it will work with  your S4S.  They are pretty good at responding to email questions.

Also, there is a company called Electrex (sp?) that makes regulators for older Ducs but again I don't know if they make them for newer models.

I guess none of the above is any help at all if as you say you can't import anything.  Why is that?  Customs and duty issues?

We sell the electrosport. We should have the 3 phase regulators (for the S4) in stock and are $109. We ship internationally and if you choose to buy from us, delivery should take about a week. Best to ensure that is your problem via the troubleshooting chart here (http://www.electrosport.com/technical-resources/library/articles/pdf/fault-finding-diagram.pdf).

Best,
Chris

Thanks Chris..The problem is still being diagnosed ...imports to Thailand are taxed 35%  but are often stolen by the customs agents or shippers ,especially  FEDEX in Bangkok.

I may take a chance at that price .

Are there any salvage yards in the country?
 Those units are VERY reliable so a used three phase Hitachi regulator should fix you right up.

good luck

WTF??? So if customs agents or someone steals your parts do you get an empty package in the mail?

empty package is common but more often they hold you to ransom on the customs duty asking double or they keep the bits,
