Went for a ride with my 94 M900 and after about 5 miles the bike died, tried restarting...nothing !

I checked the starter fuse and it was done, so I replaced it with a fresh one, the bike restarted and I raced home !
After I parked it I noticed the smell, the voltage regulator was melting, checked the forum and found out it was a common problem so I replaced it.

I charged the battery and the voltage is12.4, the bike starts but the voltage drops to 11.9 and the starter fuse fries again.

Is it the stator that fried the regulator ? If so , is it hard to replace ?

Thanks

Norm.

check the connector whereyellow stator wires connect to the regulator.  Also, read this:   http://www.electrosport.com/technical-resources/library/diagnosis/fault-finding-guide.php
