2000 vfr800 - Battery draining while operating. Replaced Reg/Rec first step primarily because everyone has. Then replaced Stator - it was noticeably burnt. No burning on Reg or Stat wires. Battery still being drained. Battery holds trickle charge. Highest reading at battery is 12.1 v with some rpm. Short ride and let idle up to temp, battery too low to start. Next step?
