I too have struggle with regulator problems on my GSXR 1100 based race car. It seems to always want to overcharge. I have change regulator on more than one occassion but never really solves the problem. It kills batteries in a fairly short time.

Mate have a chat to Deano! I bought his 95 7/11 n he was sayin they have a tendency to overcharge hey!

[Deano]

that is a little high and will stuff the battery pretty quick

i just changed the reg when i had issues and that fixed it. just unsoldered the wire and soldiered in the new red

Hmmmm i think he said something about replacing the reg already, bloody hell new alt new reg and still a problem.

Had the same symptoms on mine, 17V charging and cooked a battery.
Check the big black connector under the seat from the altenator to the battery, for corrosion or any signs of heat.
Once it gets hot and starts to melt up goes resistance and voltage.
I found it AFTER I fitted a new regulator.
