Had the same issue on my 2013. Stater and voltage regulator replaced under warranty. This would happen only after the bike was ridden about 25 miles and then sat and idled at a stop light. Battery checked out fine (I keep it on a tender every night and ride it every day). The said the plug between the stater and the regulator had a few pins that were burned.
This was at 19K miles. It's been about 4000 miles since this stuff was replaced. We'll see how long it lasts. All is well thus far.

The only thing that concerned me at the time was after installing the new regulator when I would turn on the "run" switch my engine light would come on as normal then after it went off it would actually light back up for about 10 more seconds. Bike rode fine and everything seemed ok so I just brushed it off. Eventually that went away and now everything is back to normal. Had my bike serviced a week ago and everything checked out fine.

I think that new regulator will solve your problems. I had the same thing happen to me - my bike was outside the serial numbers for the recall so I had to wait until the bike stopped running because there wasn't enough juice to run the fuel pump and electronic ignition before the dealer would believe me.

I see. Maybe I'll have em run a quick check on it and make sure nothing is wrong then. Thanks for the info. I was not aware of that.

VR died at lunch today. Again.... This replacement will be my fourth. The 1st was from the 2012 recall and that one died within a couple months Warranty replaced that one (I upgrade it to the chrome version) now it has died as well. Still under warranty so I guess I'm Ok, but I'm really thinking of going aftermarket. Is there a "good" manufacturer for VR's out there to consider.??
