Ok, there's some black and white wires going to the brushes from the regulator/rectifier.

I tested them with the bike off and at idle, they're sending ~7v at 1.15mA down to the rotor, so now I'm pretty stumped.

I guess I haven't checked the connections from the regulator/rectifier to the battery itself, so there is still a chance that the regulator half could be malfunctioning and not actually sending any power through. Do they often fail closed like this, which is to say fail by not sending any power, or is it usually that the regulator doesn't uh, regulate, and will let to much through.?
