[QUOTE="MY-BLUE-BEAST, post: 147305, member: 388"] Alright, update time. Thanks to a motorcycle lift, a big fan, and some open windows I was able to test my headlight in the garage. Its not the most practical and safest thing to do, but what else is there in the middle of a blizzard. I put the bike on the lift with the fan on the radiators and the windows open for the exhaust. Started the bike up and turned the headlight on. I first tested it on idle for a while and then very slowly started moving up in RPMs. No blown light bulb and no shorted wires. The new regulator works like a champ. Thanks for all the help and advice. :thumb: P.S. I was unable to win the eBay items so I went on a web search for a new one. I found it in an unusual spot, but if you are looking for cheap OEM parts for your Yamaha with fast and cheap shipping try [URL]http://www.boats.net/parts/search/Yamaha/parts.html[/URL]. I got the regulator for $95 including shipping. Everywhere else I looked it was close to $120. [/QUOTE]
