Good News, I guess?
Okay, the bike is definitely Christine. I just spent an hour testing circuits, grounds, relays, diodes, resistance, everything I could think of to test. Everything looks perfect. Just like your bike, Tonckawa, it suddenly decided to fix itself. Works with the good kickstand switch or with the over-ride plug, either one. Perfect. This is the craziest shit I have ever seen. I just went on a 20 minute ride, and everything is perfect. Signals, everything. I didn't actually "do" anything, but I tested everything. So if it stays good for a few trips, this bike is going adios--it will be hitting Craig's List very soon....
The one thing I will say is that in the process of this debacle, I at least have learned how to use a DMM properly, and how to track down an electrical problem. So I'm happy for that! Thanks to all of you for the input and support. Let's hope that the problem doesn't re-appear anytime soon.
