Hey fellas,
I haven't had a lot of time to work on this because of work. But I did verify that the battery connections are clean and tight, fuses are good and the connection that Ron pointed out seems to be alright. And Jim, what I meant was turn signals and panel lights- "oil", "neutral", etc.
Now I also removed the battery to charge it with a trickle charger. And noticed that after charging to 12.6V it drops back down to 12.36 or so within an hour. Is this natural or do I need a new battery? I didn't think this would be the issue, because I actually checked the voltage before my last ride. It was at about 12.36V when I started and 12.56V when the bike died.
Then there's the ignition switch. Maybe 8-9 months ago, I had trouble turning the key and (I'm ashamed to admit) remedied the problem with WD-40. A month or two later, same problem and I used dry graphite lube. No trouble turning the key since. However, about 2 months ago, I would occasionally get no power after turning the key to "on". After switching "off" to "on" a time or two I was good to go. And my left headlight went out for about a week, then randomly turned back on.
That's all the evidence I can recall. And next I'm considering removing and cleaning the ignition switch.
