I really need to get on and do this, I'm getting more and more dash resets, even right after long runs, and the bike volt-o-meter usually says about 11.5v unless I've literally just whipped the Optimate off it.

Errr, this should have been a reply to THIS thread.

i was getting the same a few weeks ago,same as you even after long runs i was advised to tighten my battery terminals,i thought they were tight but i went a quarter of a turn on each, problem solved it's not done it since.

Don't blame the Italians it's got Jap electronics Sounds like a duff battery or connection, or maybe you're not riding it enough

If the battery etc checks out maybe it's a duff rectifier or bad block connector, have you made the charge wiring mod?

I was buggering about with stuff last night and nipped up the high voltage terminals on the bottom of the starter relay. Not loose, but they did take a quarter turn.

do the same with your battery terminals.

Will get the spanners out at the weekend, thanks for the tips. Hopefully I'll do the wire mod as well then.

Notice how I posted a reply to a thread properly this time
