Update:
The modified VR for my Odyssey PC 680 has been in for a month now. What a pleasure, no more use of a trickle charger. I had to let the bike sit for several days after a trip to the airport but measured the battery this morning—12.94 V, 100% charged.
Under similar conditions with the stock regulator I’d be measuring 12.7x V much less than a full charge. For me, the mod is well worth the effort. Either the diode I used or a higher voltage regulator does the job, prolonging the life of the battery and improving starting.
No kidding Roger. This mod is SO worth doing.
I get the same voltage.
Starting is noticeably improved.
I've modded a few now.
