The problem is that you took your northern hemisphere bike to the bottom of
the world. Now that it's upsidedown all the time the juice is spilling out
of the batteries.

I got up this morning and went to fire up my '86 700SC.  The green and red
dash lights came on and there was a click and then they went off.   I
fiddled the key and they came on again and then a click and they went off.
After that, nothing.   All lights off and dead.

 

This afternoon, I popped off the side cover and pulled the battery.   All
the cells were down to 30 to 40% of the optimal fill levels.

 

I filled all the cells up to the correct levels and popped the battery back
in and VROOM, I had a running bike again.

 

I remember now that this happened about a year ago.   Maybe my voltage
regulator is pumping in a bit too much juice?  Ah well, it's an easy thing
to check periodically.

 

Just a heads up than not all the problems we're going to face are going to
be tough ones.    I really love these bikes.
