I did not mention regulator/rectifier. They normally never go out.
The oil soak that the domi uses for it's stator is not healthy to stators. The insulation comes off and makes it useless.
If it was the regulator/rectifier then he would be blowinglights and genrally not be intermittent. It would be a black or white issue.
Apart from obvious (like all wires are connected) then I'll stick with the stator .
Even though the domi/XR650L have entire diff electrical systems, the oil bath destroys stators.
XR600 riders on long trips know to carry a spare stator as replacement.
Anyway the real test is to swap one out. Inspect it and see if thw wires are going.

Except that practically ALL the Honda singles have seperate charging and ignition systems.So it WILL run perfectly happily without a battery,regulator or charging coils...i've just tried it on my mate's Domi('89 model with kichstart).The entire systm is comprised of small generator coil,pulse coil,CDI box and HT coil/lead/plug cap.Everything else in the system can be disconnected to isolate any suspect sidestand/cutout/ignition switches,etc...I previously mentioned the intake rubber as my mate's Domi has suffered from this a few weeks ago and it caused irregular running/cutting out,and wierd/horrible noises(pinking mostly).They usually split on the underside where you can't easily see of course!
