you can test with a jump from a not running car

Thank you. This is good to know.

Thank you! This is valuable information. I was wondering if it was ok to jump start from a car.

Jumped it from my truck and it started right up!
Damn! I tested the battery but only after tending it overnight and then going forward under the assumption that it was ok.
Yes, that's right. I said assumption.
Go ahead and say it...
Never fails.

I've learned alot and I am very greatful for all of the input!
Thanks!

Wow!!! Great news. Glad to hear it was only the battery. Look on the bright side. Think of all the things you learned about your bike. What parts are in good shape and perhaps things to keep maintained so you do not break down. Made my day that you are up and running.

Yep I was thinking the same thing.
Good to get in there and troubleshoot.
And I've learned not to take my battery for granted.
Thanks!

Did you ever get this problem solved...I think it is a bad contact in your killswitch. My bike started doing the same thing today and as Iwiggled the killswitch the lights came on...the bike is running awful too.
