Thanks sgtslag!

I'm so happy when someone agrees...

Another thing, i found reading the service manual, that these regulators and rectifiers have to have low resistance one way, and high resistance the other way, this is how it kinda forces AC to DC, so after testing the crappy one I had, I found that it had way toooooooo high resistance going both ways... so that just confirms that it's broken...

and yes I would probably have to get another battery, third one this year its going to be.... all because that stupid mechanic at _______ motorcycles... did not get the right regulator/rectifier....
