Dennis, > I
had this exact problem with the Gen.light faintly glowing and batt. not
charging.The gen.would put out when grounding the field.This happened while
away from home and did not have a multimeter with me.I put in a new
regulator,same problem.Turns out it was a bad ground conn. from frame to
reg.body.The point is having a multimeter in the saddle bag could have saved
some money and aggravation.

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.
