I hate electrical issues so bad! I'm not very electrical smart but YouTube has helped me learn a little bit at a time.
I have a friend with a Zuma 2-stroke. He has crashed it at least 3 times and it has a few random electrical issues. I refuse flat-out to even look at that scooter. Crash damage is the worst to diagnose and he can't understand that the weekend is my time, and I'm not using my time working on a smashed up scooter.
I'm not 100% sold on a bad voltage regulator. Tap into the stator with a volt meter that records spikes over a set level. You find out what the max output is on the stator, set the recording volt meter to that max output while its hooked up and go for a ride. If it spikes over the set level it will record the max spike output. It's rare but a stator can spike from a bad winding and short out related components. You replace said components and the same problem repeats. I had a bad stator on a CBR900RR that kept zapping the voltage regulator. I worked at a tuning shop at the time and the owner taught me how to trouble shoot it, plus it was a kinda known issue with that model year Honda.
I've also chased broken/grounding/shorted wires in a loom and its never fun but it needs to be done. Keep us updated on any findings and feel free to continue to ask questions. Over the internet diagnostics and be a bit difficult but anything helps sometimes.
