Hi Adventure Boy, I recommend that you search on the reg / rectifier problem and familiarise yourself with it. You could probably be wasting money / time by replacing the rectifier if the connector on the end of the loom has distorted due to heat build up. I had this on my first Ten and was the first to encounter this problem.
My current Ten started to play up although did not stop or leave me stranded. I just cut the end off the loom and soldered on a Fazer rectifier as per Stoics' instructions. The advantage of this is that there is some 300mm of loom coming from the Fazer unit and using this I relocated the reg under the headlight framework. Works for me. Hope this helps.

I have put a full thread on here describing how and where I relocated the new rectifier.

Cheers SteveD
