No power in ignition position
Hey guys,
Last weekend I was out for a ride and stopped for a burger. When I went back out to my bike, I had power when the key was in accessory position, but nothing when in ignition position. I took off the seat and wiggled some wires around, and saw the lights come on. I started her up and got 2 blocks from home before she started sputtering. I made it home, but now it has the same symptoms as before and won't start. Any Ideas on what's wrong?
Thanks in advance!
Jimmy

Feel like an ***, but figured it out!
Well, I ASSumed my brand new battery was not the problem (maybe it's not the problem, but it barely had a charge). I guess we all know what happens when you assume! It pays to sit back for a minute and look at everything before diving in! I'll charge the battery, get it tested, and move on from there.

If it tests good then I would look at your charging system. Follow this procedure to verify your stator/regulator have not gone out. http://blog.jpcycles.com/step-by-ste...arging-system/ Yours is a 22A system. Where on LI you from?

Battery wouldn't take a charge, I guess I got a bad one. I'll return it on Monday, and get a mew one. It's only a couple of months old, I guess it's just defective?
I'm out on the east end of LI in the hamptons, great place to be this time of year!
