electric problems

[oldyam80sg]

So last weekend the bike ran fine except the rear brake issue-fixed that and went to go for a ride today.Started bike up,put on gear and went to go up driveway and bike died.Hit starter button-nothing.Took off side covers,checked fuses, all connections nothing.Put on battery charger went right up to 75% charged,hit starter button -nothing.Took multimeter and went to check starter relay no reading.Replaced starter relay and nothing.Took off tank and went to check voltage regulator and noticed harness disconnected.Plugged in and bike started.Going too put shrink tubing over the connector so it wont come off.

Hi Oldyam,
glad to hear you found the problem and fixed it. I would check the fluid level in that battery too. Give it a good charge and load test. It may be on the way out.

The connector was definitely the issue-now I ran into a cosmetic issue-when I put the bike in storage this summer due to a tendon tear in my rotator cuff-they spray painted my storage unit doors and have a green mist film on the whole bike.A lot of polishing compound to remove it.Its coming off but takes a bit of time.
