Down to the local battery store for me (if such a place exists!!)
Regulator just "regulates" [and smooths] out the voltage from the battery source; nothing to do with your barttery not holding a charge and dropping charge rapidly. You can thest the regulator very simply but you dont need to as this is a dudd battery issue. As darrsi says, go for a trouble free battery as it is worth the extra money particularly if you ride in dark winters and have the lights running - mind you most bikers keep the lights on anyway 24/7 ??
