I thought exactly the same, then remembered how many farkles Cats used and he never seemed to have a charging problem.

Good question.
In my case, no; bike is original as Yamaha intended.

GTR1400 - Chaufer the wife.

All mine has it Symtec grips, which are powered via a relay so don't heat up until engine is running, and I have a low beam HID.
Everything else is standard.
Only thing that I can link to my failure was a long (2hr+) journey home from work in the snow, so I was only managing about 10-15mph most of the way, so figured that was the culprit in my instance.
Bike had done ~ 85k miles when mine fried.

Last four from Robin Williams in Devon.
But I don't think the rewind quality is the issue here.
