All points to regulator and battery again but seems a bit weird given both bits are brand new.
Any logical input appreciated

It is not the regulator/rectifier unit that fails on the Tenere; it is the connector on the loom that causes the well documented problem of no charge, flat battery and dead bike.
Have a look in the connector on the loom and see if all the pins are intact and not corroded or melted. It is the earth pin in the corner of the block that is the one that normally melts and causes the problem.
Yamaha replaced the whole loom when rectifying (no pun intended) this issue, but for a bike out of warranty it is much more cost effective to replace the reg/rec unit with a secondhand one that has tails, rather than just a connector. This can then be spliced into the existing loom and the offending connector can be ditched.
