I am having that charging / battery problem again though. Ride the bike for about an hour, can see the neutral light getting dimmer the longer I ride and then the bike cuts out because battery is dead. Had the same problem a year or two ago and I ended up taking the battery to the auto parts store. They tested it and said the battery was bad. I bought a new battery and the bike ran great again with no issues. But now it is happening again. The batterys in my other bikes dont go bad like this and I always take them out for the winter and put them o a bench in the cellar. I suspect the bike is not charging properly.
Is there a simple way to test the charging system?? I may bring it to a mechanic buddy as I am horrible with electronics.
I had the same issue with my 550 not too long ago.. Was really frustrating because all my charging system components were testing good!
But it turned out that one of the rectifier wires was not seating all the way into the plastic connector, popped it back in snug and haven't had a charging issue since . Still might be a good idea to upgrade to a solid state R/R tho..

Hey there! Welcome to the forum.
I would suggest opening a free photobucket account then you can simply copy and paste the links into your posts here. It's nice b/c you can post as many photos of whatever size/resolution you want!
Welcome, enjoy!!!
