Tony usually rides on weekends and doesnt return calls till the week.. I have run my venture with a completly dead battery(it froze) and I didnt encounter any problems. Do a load test on the battery and check, not sure what a voltage regulator would do but you can check if it is faulty.. It is possible to have 2 bad cdi boxes but sounds like I would check coils, reeds, stator, stuff like that and eliminate the easiest possibilities first.. Like I said if you need a hand pm me and maybe get her purring in no time..
