Help with 2007 X-Star

Hi, we just got our 2007 X-Star with LY6 and about 50 hrs from the US.
Now we've got issues that we could need some help with:
1. The alternator is getting pretty hot even after running the motor for just 3 to 5 minutes. We haven expierenced this with other enginees before. Is that normal?
2. Setting up the ZeroFlex Tower we found that the lower joint, about a feet up from the hull, on the starboard sides has alot of flex sideways. The same joint on the portside has nearly no flex. Until now we haven't found a way to fix this.
3. The Flyhigh Pro X Ballast System has been installed just before shipping from the US. Filling the sacs works with some leaks, but there is no way of emptying the sacs and the gauges and digital gauge are completly of. The show different of filled ballasttanks while all are empty.
