On a normal ride today and the oil light and fuel light both come on at the same time on my 2001 SV650. Pulled over and checked oil and fuel and both were fine so I kept riding and figured I would look into it when I got home. About 15 minutes later one cylinder quit and the bike died. Battery was almost dead so I figure when the lights came on the battery was no longer charging.

Took off the seat and the wiring harness (two wires, one black one red) going to the rectifier/regulator was melted. Bypassed the harness with no change.

Any ideas/things to check before I start throwing parts at it? Thanks.
