Default 48 eletrical issues
Rode down to MD today with the wife and some friends, on the way to our friends house she lost the turn signals/brake lights on her 2010 48. Checked the fuse when we got there and it was not blown, figured maybe a brake switch went bad. Left from our friends place and on our way down to jumbo jimmys she lost all power to her speedo. Here's what doesn't work: Brake lights/Turn signals/Horn/Speedo(including the digital odo/trip meter/clock). My buddy Jon said that there is a possible recall on this bike so looks like i'll be callin the dealer tomorrow. Any insight on this?

Battery connections loose or corroded. Issues with charging, regulator.
