ian&all-
well, dig this- the battery is toast. full of liquid, 2 years 0ld
[already?], will not recharge. kaput- good 'ol kermit took me home first,
what a great bike! he even coughed a few times [very uncharacteristic]
first, leaning me to cut the high speed farting around short, & go to the
barn.
gen. is 100%, as is everthing else, [did the remove fueltank [full]
boogie].
tommorrow, we ride again! [still wanna know how to wire up a voltmeter tho!]
andy

Andy,
Possible that your battery is shorting out? Maybe a bad ground wire?
Possibly a bad ignition switch?
I'm sure you will trace the problem down.....Ian
