Now that it's upsidedown all the time the juice is spilling out of the batteries. -Kyle On Wed, May 2, 2012 at 10:55 PM, Dennis <[email protected]> wrote: 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.
