Gilles,
Did your friend who did the testing ever come up with a more robust design ?

Gentlemen,
Maybe the small study we conducted on the Rotax regulator could be of
interest :
http://contrails.free.fr/elec_ducati_en.php
We found that the regulated voltage was around 13.5-13.8 V, quite in
accordance with the recent postings.
Also the B+ and R pins are internally connected. Remember that the case
must be suitably grounded, with a connection capable of at least 20 amps.
The key to achieving acceptable service life with the Rotax unit, is
cooling and low current draw. In my opinion, drawing more than a dozen
amps continuous is unwise and may lead to premature failure.
BTW, the G letters stand for "Giallo" (yellow), R for "Rosso".
