On my way to escort Santa to deliver some presents this morning and the bike starts missing. I thought plugs might be fouled so I turned around and limped it to an Auto Zone, bought new plugs and swapped them out. Hit the ignition switch and nothing, no voltage at all so either the Taiwanese battery that the previous owner installed is toast or its my charging system. Auto Zone's tester wouldn't work on it, although it worked fine on a new battery off the shelf. After I towed the bike home, I put the battery on my charger and my charger wouldn't detect that the leads were hooked up and I was showing over 13 volts with my ohmmeter on a battery that I know isn't fully charged. I take the battery to Advance auto to have them test it so that I don't spend $100.00 throwing a new battery at this thing and it not fix the problem. The tester at Advance shows it needs a charge but wasn't showing any other unusual signs. I'm going to let them charge it overnight and hopefully tomorrow I can determine whether I need another battery or a new stator.

Nitrogen, helium go for the nitrous oxide. That way after you breakdown on the road and can't get it going you have something to help you laugh it off and chalk it up to fate!! LOL
