Whilst Brad is correct that there are many  bikes happily using the standard  regulator  with no problem , it must be noted that the same japanese  standard Ducati regulator is also used by Honda  in the VFR  and other bikes and also is notoriously unreliable due to overheating , When it dies I always replace with alternatives , I have used Shindengren and electrex world regulators in both Duactis, triumphs and Hondas  to replace the standard one ,, but always upgrade the plug in connections too .
