  1. New battery and stator from Caltric are in. Bike fired right up but the warning light and the battery symbol are on.
  2. New battery is in. Amp meter is 14 off, 13.9 acc, 13.7 on. Good call on dead battery. Unfortunately, waiting for a new stator as the old one is burnt. That could explain why the battery died. I will update when all back together. Thanks
  3. Thanks for the assistance. I was hoping I'd get a change this kind of answer as I'm more of a re and re backyard mechanic. I guess I better start troubleshooting this electrical puzzle.
  4. I ordered a battery but I have a feeling it's time for some new electrical components: Stator and Rectifier perhaps? Now I need to find a guide to inspecting and replacing. I'll start by removing the plastics. Found this on ebay. Seems like a decent price. Any objections? http://www.ebay.com/itm/291368977767?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Thanks for the knowledgeable support and assistance.
  5. I have the battery on a tender but I'll get a new battery. Pulled all five fuses. Managed to put the signal and acc fuses in. The other three fuses cause a short and lose power to battery.
  6. I put a test light on the battery terminals. It lights up when ignition off. Light is dimmer on Acc and goes off when ignition On. Thanks
  7. Thanks for the replies. I'm quite certain about the kill switch not being the issue. My clues are that there is power in Acc position but none in On position. Battery is charged. Any clues to testing the stator and rectifier? Thank you
  8. Hi there, Today I went for a ride with no issues. I parked the bike for less than an hour. When I started it, I forgot the kickstand was down and when I released the clutch, the bike died. The bike would not start with the kickstand up and the bike didn't have power. I checked the main fuse and it was fine. I removed the kickstand wiring connector and grounded out the wires but nothing. There's power in Acc position but not when the key is on. Seems like a possible ground issue. Could this be a stator issue? I'm unsure how to test and new to this site. Thank you for any helpful suggestions.
