Hi there,
You would have consistient voltage across the terminals because the bike is running off the battery and is not charging. Run the bike for 10 minutes and it would be more like 11.7V or thereabouts.
As i have suggested above, disconnect the reg rec from the loom, check the output from the alternator, should be ~60VAC across all three legs. If that is OK then the alternator is OK. Recconect regulator and if the voltage out of the rec at the plug (Big RED wire) is not approx 14.5V @ 5000rpm then the reg/rec is cactus.
If you are in Sydney I am happy to come and have a look. PM me if you want to meet up, but it would have to be one evening during the week.
With regards to the Power Commander, the later model ones are easy to remove, just take it out. I dont see it affecting warranty though.
