Hi,
My 1982 XS 650 quit on a ride today while riding down the road? It had a miss fire three or so times over in a distance of four or so miles, then it just shut down totally? Had a dead battery, long story short, had to trailer it home, made for a long day? Only thing I have done today was to disconnect the battery which had only 5,5 volts left in it, I did charge it, now reads a good 13 volts, but shows a slight voltage draw of 0.40 on my test meter, disconnected the main fuse 20 Amp, and the battery draw goes away? Any help on the trouble shooting to correct my charging issues, would sure be appreciated, Just one more question, does this machine have a charge indicator, idiot light or something to go on to be able to see a not charging properly ahead of time?
Thanks again in advance for any help.
