Question CANBUS Charging System Checks

We have Stickies above for checking the charging system on pre-Canbus bikes, but are they are pretty old now. Are they still valid for Canbus bikes, or should we have a new/revised procedure for them? If we do, is there a jolly good chap/chappess available to write us a suitable new Sticky please?!

Checks are pretty much the same, instead of fuses you have a BCM but the charging system remained the same.

Thanks - that's somehow reassuring! None of our bikes are canbus, although our latest car is - fortunately still under warranty and fine so far!
