I had a forced landing today due to smoke in the cockpit. Fortuanetly I was nearby the airport and landed safely after shutting down all the electrical. After removing the foam donuts that my butt cut out of the seat pads, I started troubleshooting. I found that one of the wires from the coils/alternator where it goes into the regulator was fried. Is there a way to test the Ducati regulator? Any ideas on what is going on? I heard a loud squealing in my headset when the smoke got real thick so I wonder if the problem is in the alternator part or in the regulator. Any help is appreciated. Now I am going to have a stiff drink.
