Yep reg-recs got hot.

but shouldn't instantly melt your hand.

If its sparking when your touching it to the frame you either have a short in the REG/REG

OR your LIVE Wires to the REG/REG are touching the reg/rec

My reg/rec gets pretty warm pretty quick, but not hot enough to burn your hand, if its that hot then a live inside is shorted to the heat sink. Strange that it still works regulating&rectifying, check the connections at the reg again, as suggested, maybe somehow wires are touching, but more likely an internal short.. Could always rip it apart?...

Thanks MexicanGringo and Neosophist I have unplugged everything and nothing seems to stop the short and I have checked the reg/rec wires going into the loom plug and can't see anything wrong so I think I will get a r6 yamaha rwg/rec and see what happens then.

Reg/Rec should be warm, maybe hot depending on battery charge. I know the Reg/rec for the NC24 is electrically isolated from the frame ?!?

Well everyone good news, my r6 reg/rec arrived yesterday and I just had to try it and see what happened, so I temporarilly wired it up, and success :grin: no more earthing to the frame, so it was the honda reg/rec after all. So thanks to everyone who replied and thanks royster81 for the offer of his spare reg/rec. :grin: So I will now permanently wire up the reg/rec and solder all the connectors.
