Yep ,it's the windings in the rotor that usually give up the ghost .Nothing lasts for ever .
The insulation breaks down due to old age and vibration .You can get new replacement rotors from Mike's XS but they look a bit dodgy.
Better IMHO to buy a Sparx permanent magnet rotor conversion and do away with the electrically excited original and all the original reg/rect gubbins ,especially if you are preparing the bike for a long trip.
