BMW F650CS Voltage???

As I posted earlier, I changed the battery to a maintenance free sealed battery.  When I pulled out the old one, it was almost dry.  That led me to believe that the battery was getting over charged - perhaps the voltage regulator was going bad.

I browsed the Internet and found some useful information at f650.com regarding to the Voltage Rectifier.  I went through the document and tested the bike.  Here is my result.

Ignition on, but engine off = 13.16V
at Idle = 14.30V
at 3500rpm = 14.05V

So according to the page, the rectifier is working just fine.  Thanks goodness.
