Bob.....what !!!! Worried about getting arrested because your headlight
wasn't on. You must live in NY :-) Here in Georgia.....we don't worry about
that stuff ...one of the benefits in living here in the "free" ...for
now...south :-)

Battery should last 2 yrs plus. My Wal mart $30 batteries have held up for
almost three years. Secret is to have a good generator....that is what your
problem is I think. Be sure to check your grounds though.....they can be a
problme source.

Ciao...Ian

Today I went on a 200mile jaunt in southern NY. Nice day. Halfway
through the trip I lost all electrical facility except ignition. Headlight,
taillight, horn dash lights out! One of my buddies told me that he had seen
my headlight getting dimmer and dimmer. I was able to make it home without
getting arrested. When I the road I checked all connections, looked at
fuses - all was OK. (Last week when I went to the Guzzi breakfast I
mentioned to Joe Casey that the battery was getting weak, so I shoulda taken
action sooner.) I have had a 12v Yasua 300cca battery in my Ambo for about
3 years. I guess the battery is wasted because I took it to Autozone this
evening and they told me that I only have 41 of the original 300 cold
cranking amps left. So, I bought an Autozone battery 12v 300cca designed
for garden tractor which is what Joe Casey recommended last week. So should
the Yasua battery have lasted longer? About how long do these cheaper
garden tractor batteries last? And��� since the bike was running OK why
didn't the generator continue to power the lights?? Bob
