Tuber Voltage Regulators - are they all the same or no?
I have an EFI bike and might have a bad VR, my battery is going weak very quickly after being charged.

I could be wrong, but I think I've read that sometimes the grounds get corroded and that can cause the VR to malfunction. Check all of your VR grounds and make them shiny. It couldn't hurt.

i put in a new VR and it was not grounded properly and it keep throwing and engine code. Once i installed it correctly it worked fine.They can get corroded easily as they are by the front wheel and get water on them when washing the bike and riding in rain.
