No i'm not the original owner, but I don't quite understand whether the voltage regulator is original or not matters in this case.
Because someone could have put any voltage regulator in there, especially coming out of three years of COVID-induced supply chain shortages, so there's a chance that if the part isn't original, someone may have stuck a random voltage regulator in there, rather than one meant for your bike, and therefor you could have things not meant for your bike coming out of your voltage regulator, as you described.
When I replaced the voltage regular in my GTS250, I realized that the same regular could be used across a variety of not only Piaggio bikes, but that it was a Ducati part!
Hope that makes why I asked make sense to you now.
