Tach/speedo dropped to zero first, followed by trip meters resetting to zero and fuel gauge flashing. Then bike started surging until it no longer ran. Stopped at roadside, and no more start. Clicking from starter relay (I'm assuming). Lights were on, but no neutral light. AFter a few minutes, neutral light started showing up when we turned the key back on, but still no start. Neutral light died out after 2 start attempts.
So - took the battery for a test and short charge. Seemed ok, and after putting it back into the bike, the bike ran fine for, oh, 1 mile. Same symptoms.
Been digging through the threads, and there seem to be some bikes that have these symptoms with bad batteries or alternators. Any ideas/feedback appreciated. Bike is currently on a highway somewhere about to spend a lonely night. Don't know if it's worth just buying a battery or getting it towed..
thanks.
