My RD04 have had the same simptoms. The way to fix it was to change the reg/rec, I've fitted one from Electrex and it works fine.
Since then no charging troubles.

I would probably plump for REG/REC. Once again very similar symptoms on my old CX500. It is now fine with a change over.

New regulator required, very common fault and easy to change, remove side panel then two bolts and a plug I think.
