Bad Voltage Regulator

[Lifter]

Hello Gang!

Today while on my way to work, I experienced periods where my bike was stumbling.

I pulled over and it stalled. After a rough resart, I was able to limp it back home while my bike had more studdering periods.

I stopped into my local bike shop and they used a multimeter on battery. When I opened the throttle, the battery voltage dropped some.

They then used the multimeter on the contacts for the regulator and diagnosed it as vaulty.

Also, I have recently had a hard time while starting having to turn the engine over long time or multiple times to get it started. I just assumed that the battery was cheap..

I have a regulator on order but I thought that I would ask the group if this sounds like that likely fix or should I save time and money trying something different.

Thanks again in advance!
