The Rundown-by Craig

My problem with referencing the rpm's is there is no Tach

The voltage rectifier is throwing a reading of 11.75 when the key is off and I have the trickle charger hooked up. Should there be a reading from it while the bike and key is off?

After talking to two friends "My Riding Buddy and another that knows a bit about car parts" the issue of the kickstand switch may be to blame. Is there any way to diagnose the kickstand switch as the offender. Sometimes it gets "sticky" from dirt and oil and doesn't open up to allow the bike to start. All I do is depress it a couple times by hand and I am good to go. I understand that I may have to replace that soon anyway according to what I have been told at the local Bike shop where I get misc. parts.

I will test for a short tomorrow when it isn't raining lol. Thanks for the run through on how to do it.
