Yeah, Kyle, I've been there with the '83 550. Particularly tricky. Since it is electronic ignition, you need some voltage to even get a spark.
I think I related this before. I had an appointment in Seattle, an hour drive (without delays, like an overturned propane truck). I borrowed my wife's Gerbings heated liner and took off. It was a glorious ride! Everything started and worked fine on the way back too. Another glorious ride as the cold evening weather set in. When I got home I shut off to open the garage door and it would not start up again. It was really dead. I was really glad I did not stop along the way. Never had any actual charging issues with that bike, but I found that you can suck all the alternator current out with a heater even on the freeway. But that's another story. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
