Peter,
After 4 failures of the CS rectifier/regulator the final one after a jump start on a brand new CS unit, where it went bang, I have switched to an H-D (Electra Glide) unit, which is far superior. It provides 14.1V at idle, keeps the battery fully charged and the headlights bright.
My M3W was not happy this morning, after having got so hot yesterday in the 44ºC at Draguignan. It sounded like it had hay fever and was sneezing. It used to spit back when very cold on the original set up but stopped doing so, when I went to G56 Stage 2. Maybe the sneezing is what spitting back sounds like through the G56 induction system but it was not cold this morning with the outside temperature in the low 30's (C) at 8AM. I turned the power off and on completely with the master switch a couple of times and that seemed to clear the fault (if any) in the G56 ECU.
