losing instruments and lights

#1 Post by aaronmvrider » Wed May 23, 2012 9:24 pm

got a bit of an issue... lost power to the whole bike electrics.... bike runs fine and starts easily but has no power to run the lights or tacho... with all instruments turned off it will run the tacho.. but as soon as i touch the brake and the light comes on it dies

could this be a dead bad battery or a stator issue....

yes it has an old battery in it....

i know replace the battery and see what happens... but it does hold charge... bike has been sitting for a while ???
