Turns out it was the start switch. Strange thing is, that it tested o.k. when I used a multimeter. When I pressed the switch, it read dead short, and when I let go, it read open. Exactly what a pushbutton switch should do. But when I applied power to the switch, that's when the problem appeared.

This switch is sealed and not serviceable, and is attached to the run/kill switch also. The part is listed as the 2 switches plus the harness. So, gonna shop around tomorrow.

Figures, few months after warranty expires, switch fails....go figure.

Thanks for all the suggestions...got real intimate with my bike these past few days....Lol.
