I think the eccessive voltage suggestion of Jimmy's is a good one - something on the bike has to be causing this.

For this high voltage to occur - likely just intermittant - there would maybe have to be two problems. First the alternator regulator would have to 'glitch' or possibly the 'sensing' (brown wire) connection (from ign sw) momentarily break, causing the regulator to give max alternator output voltage. The second problem is that the battery + or - (earth) connection (to alternator output) must be poor at the same time, otherwise the the battery itself would not allow an eccessive voltage rise. Assuming the battery is good & starting the bike ok, I would start looking at the fuse box for this poor connection, where the alternator output/main circuit feed brances off to charge the battery.

Very bad luck to get such a combination of problems, but at least your dealer is helping.

Hope it gets sorted for you soon.

Mike
