Went for a ride after work today, parked the bike(79 Special). After dinner went to go back out and starter wouldn't go. I noticed that when I turned the key on the headlight was on. Safety relay was on (ie in the running state) pulled the yellow wire from the alt. bullet connector and the relay dropped out. yellow wire back in, relay picked up. So the yellow wire had voltage on it to pick up the relay. I left the yellow wire disconnected, started the bike, idled for a min or 2 then shut it down. All back to normal operation. Has anyone seen anything like this or offer an explanation? Wish I'd put a voltmeter on that yellow wire.
