Noticed the Falco was taking slightly longer to start and cranking a bit slower. After researching the issue checked the charging circuit. Found no continuity between the cabling on the brown plug centre phase. Once I managed to pry it apart found the centre male and female connectors in a bad way and some heat damage. Plug and wiring to look at before checking looked fine. No signs of excess heat. Have fitted a different style of plug and a new battery fro AP workshops with 230CCA. Checked the R/R as per the Mille manual and readings across all pins as they should be. I'll keep a close eye on it and maybe do the wiring mod to the rectifier output plug If I have any more issues. Starting and charging fine at the moment though.
