Ian,You must be kidding about no lights on law in GA.?The last time I
checked a list it was required?Or the local cops don't care......I had a
trooper chase me for only having my spot lights on and you know this area of
upstate NY. Dave

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.

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??
