Just a quick heads up for any UK owners that may need a replacement voltage regulator. I bought an R6 style regulator from WeMoto.com.
£70 got me the regulatorthat already had a wiring adapter loom on it. It was really easy to install and should hopefully last a while. All that was needed was some longer bolts to secure the regulator in place.
Old regulator. The hole is where the smoke was coming out shortly after start up.
