well, there are two wires between the cdi and the reg/rec and 2 wires from the alternator directly to the cdi. the bike won't run with the reg/rec disconnected, but i don't think that necessarily means it can't be wired differently with separate modules or otherwise.
I think I'll try the $0.35 diode first...it's pretty obvious on mine which one burned out and will replace both while I'm at it. i think radioshack sells a circuit sealing lacquer spray. Maybe I'll seal it first with that then fill with silicone rtv (I don't know how silicone would affect any electronics). The actual potting/encapsulating epoxy is expensive stuff!
Revisiting this issue for those who may benefit. With the help of my electrical engineer brother-in-law, I've attached a replcement rectifier diode in place of the burnt out diode, bypassing the failed printed circuit. So far the repair has been a success. More time is needed to verify longevity.
Is this still working for you? What did you use to re-seal the circuit board?
