My first xs. Bought it a month ago. A new battery, an oil change, and some solder in the turn signal switch and it was back on the road.

Don't you love it when it is like that? Was it difficult trouble-shooting the electrical issue?I've always like the looks of turn out pipes. Looks hot roddy.

Difficult to diagnose until someone told me what wire was carrying the power to the switch and I remembered how to use my voltmeter. Now I need to know where to start with this charging system that has not had a cover on it FOREVER....

The second one should help you sort out the charging system.
