Electrical question

I wonder how many R/R's and stators were ever replaced because the wiring/connectors were bad. Someone changes a R/R by disconnecting and connecting the wires. Then the battery charges. Was the R/R bad or did disconnecting and connecting the wiring fix the problem?

By the way, Aprilia Falco's are known to have problems with the sidestand safety switch, and they aren't the only brand with this problem. And it doesn't matter if the frame is steel or aluminum, the ground connectors always have corrosion.
