Hi George,

You wrote and ask:

Can you provide more information? Be thorough and explain as much as possible. You're with the MC, all I have to go on is what you describe. Follow all instructions for asking a question.

I have a few questions:

What electrical tests have were performed to diagnoses this problem?

What were the results of those tests?

Do you have the service/repair manual?

Was this motorcycle stored for a month? A Year? Longer?

What was the first symptom? What happened from after that?

When was the last tune-up or any repairs made to your MC?

Anything else you can add is helpful.

Respectfully,
Mark Shively
