Well, I'm back . . . I still can't figure this thing out. My volt-meter shows a positive charge at 3000 rpm, yet I can't go for more than an hour without running the battery down to roughly 50% capacity. It's just *not* taking a charge from the charging system. When I took out the battery to set it on the charger again, I happened to notice this disconnected wire (always a good sign, right? ) I've never noticed before:



Any idea what this is? It seems to have the same connector for my turn-signal relay switch, yet there are no available posts for it. As I've never messed with my relay, much less have seen this wire (and I doubt sabotage), I doubt this is the cause.

If not this mystery, any other ideas? I miss being able to ride without worry
