Thanks for the info, belatedly. I've since discovered the problem: a corroded, multi-lead ground, located underneath the steering column head attached to the frame. Since then, with practically all of the electrical leads cleaned and preserved with electrical contact goop, my bike has been charging just fine. No modifications to the electrical was necessary. Of course, there is just barely enough juice in the system to operate at 1,100 RPM+ sustained driving.

But, it roars like a lion! The next door neighbors kitty lost one of its lives just hearing it.

Wow, almost 3 years to the date !!

Glad to hear all is well and that you found the problem.

Better late than never .

Thanks for the tip. It is an Electrix, so I am cool.

To help out, I put the battery on a charger when I'm not riding. After a recent five hour ride, I checked the battery voltage and it read 12.7V. Without the charger, it would eventually equilibriate around something closer to 12.0V...probably because of that damn clock!

I don't stress it though. It handles my day rides just fine!
