+1 for reg/rec problem. Is it original?
I would suggest an aftermarket one and installing it where it will get lots of air flow. I had a 98 ST2 and the reg/rec would work when it was cold but once it got hot it would stop charging the battery. I attached leads from a multimeter to a wire plugged into to my powerlet plug. I put the multimeter in my tank bag map pocket and rode around. Sure enough, the charging voltage would drop off to around 12 volt after riding a while.
Give it a try.

The bike was idling a little rough and it got worse as I rode it. I got back home and turned it off, and it did restart. I have to keep the idle high to keep it going or else it will just idle down and finally off? Any ideas or help would be great, The battery is good, and I do not seem to be having any other issues.
