I had to push start the bike this morning. Battery was flat as a pancake. It happens about twice a year.
Once bumped it then charges fine during my 30 minute ride to work.
The bike isn't necessarily left for a long period of time, for example I rode it Monday, it was dead on Wednesday.
Got a chap at work who was a mechanic in a former life, sat there, pondered and came up with the regulator. Sounds plausible.
I did wonder if I had locked it with the parking lights on but I don't think I did/have done.
Ideas?

Money doesn't buy happiness, but it buys beer, and that helps!
