2006 Tiger over charging

[birddogone]

Hey Fellas,
My above tiger has had the Sasquauce fix and I replace the regulator  a couple thousand miles ago just as a maintenance step. Get'n things ready for about a 2k trip next week and now I've got an over charging problem. I researched the archives and most threads here were about under charging. I checked my on board volt meter with my hand held volt meter and they were the same. at idle 12.5 v and above 3000 rpms I'm at 17.8 volts. the on board volt meter goes from green to red when the voltage gets above 16v.
Any help sure would be appreciated, thanks.

Better get your old regulator back out because it sounds like the new one has gone tits up .
It happens . Was the preventive maintenance one a oem or aftermarket.

replaced mine as a precaution with an aftermarket Shindengen, and after only 2000 miles it was shot 
Replaced again with the oem I kept on the shelve, and everything still works super

Looks like my trip's back on!     Thanks to Mustang, Marc and this great Site I'm back in business, put the old regulator back in and all is back to normal. Went for about a thirty mile run just to be sure and is it shore nuff is.  The after market reg. I had installed was a Procom, don't know how to test it but I assume it's no good.
Thanks again for all your help,
Rod in Va.

PS I'll post pictures from my trip down to Talladega Speedway when I get back.

  Warranty return?

Mine has been replaced for free with a RR58  "frequently used by Honda"...they said, with cooling plate and paste.
The OEM is still doing a great job, so I keep this one as a spare.
I'm not so confident with this new one after the first disaster....

With a little fettling and an extra bracket you can turn the reg rec through 90 degrees and get the air flowing through it instead of round it

With a little fettling and an extra bracket

Yeah!... the original position is already so narrow    the loom to the 30A fuse is pinched between the RR and de battery box
