I gather "modern" motor bikes have pm alternators. Am not clear on how regulated. But apparently can cook themselves on low load.
Edit. On brushing up it seems the regulator dumps output. Dont know what load is maintained on the gears but a constant load well above original max may tax the gears. I have seen arrangements for extra lube. Because of the sliding action, some books recommend low load running in of cross gears
