It would totally die and gauge would go to zero. No electrical at all. Local indy found battery had good voltage but when loaded it totally died. Replaced battery and no more problem at least on a 75 mile test run. Old EVO circuit breaker in nose checked fine and no shorted or pinched grounds. Weird battery showed good voltage but none when loaded. Got warranty on battery thank goodness. No work done recently just happened out of the blue.
