    11.6 is DEAD! Give her some charge and check your charging system with the stator papers (here on this site).

    Now I really feel ignorant... how can 11.6v be dead if all the lights are bright and it starts within 10 seconds of pushing the "start" button?

    should I question my voltmeter?

      Always a possibility. Borrow someone else's to verify. How are you charging the battery; does your charger have a read out or charge level indication?. If you don't already have one, purchase a Battery Tender or other battery maintainer type product. I have seen them for as little as $20-25. Best motorcycle investment you will ever make. A bad battery by itself can make for some funny little electircal happenings.
      Believe in truth. To abandon fact is to abandon freedom.

      Nature bats last.

        Lighting problems

        Are your signals working properly yet? I have done work on mine recently and even with a wiring diagram they can be confusing. If any parts aren't stock list them. Do you have a wiring diagram? Suzuki uses an interesting wiring system that requires some parts to be stock replacement (OEM) parts.

          yup, got everything working a few weeks ago. turned out I had to reverse a pair of wires on the switch relay connector (don't know why...). though now it's not charging properly...

          thanks for all of your help.
