Andy,
Once you get the battery recharged, take it for a short ride at night. See
if the generator light glows. As you know, when at idle the light will
shine. When you increase revs, the light will go out. If there is a
problem like a poor ground, etc., the light often will glow faintly, but not
so bright that you can see it in the daytime. Take it out at night and see
what you can see. I would start with Ian's suggestion first, which is to
check your grounds carefully. Clean and tighten firmly. Check your battery
terminals. Loose connections at the grounds or at the battery can be enough
to cause these problems. If no luck there, break out the multimeter and
start taking readings at the battery with the bike off and running.
D.J.

 miles, kinda looping [pun intended] back toward home [penn yan, ny,
315-536-5602, in case anyone gets lost], and at a stopsign, the ol gal
[maybe kermit is the WRonG name??] quit! push the starter button, nada.
push
 it again, fires up & i go on home. pull into the barn, & she quits again.

 start- rattles the new relay, thats it. i am stupid@ elec. stuff.

unhooked/broken,
 etc. dynomo lite never came on, but when i hooked the battery charger [out
of desperation], the batt. appeared to be really dead! fried! now i have a
