Well, I just had to borrow a cage to get home today! Special Ed and I went out for a ride, he with SWMBO and I with me and myself. Rode the 20 miles up to Eds house, and then about six miles on up the road and Daily Ride just died! Lights on, neutral and oil light on, but starter button didn't do anything! After about 5 minutes, got to the fuses and found one with a bad spot, not really burned. replaced it, bike fired up, and started on up the road. About 1.5 miles later, bike died!!! pulled over, replaced the fuse again with a 30 amp, as that is what I had left, started it, turned to go home, and it died again!
Ed went back to his house with his better half, and she drove her car up to me. They headed on up to Alice's, the original destination, and I used the car to get home and grab MY car and bike trailer.
Bike is now home on a trailer, and I'll be looking at the electrical in about two days. I need to go over the hill in the morning to try and find a job, so it will be the cage, and NOT the bike.
At least I have the Midnight Special for a ride, so I shouldn't go too crazy while I'm trying to fix the other bike.
If anyone has any ideas what may have caused this, I'm open to any item I may need to check. I did NOT have a VOM with me, so I can't say the pick-up coils are good or bad. the wires have NEVER been fixed, but they were good when I checked last, about 1K miles ago.
