If you got that far, might as well pull all the connectors apart, clean them, stick them back together and then lightly coat with Fluid Film.

Yep!! That aught to do it,,, now if you just can remember where you wrote that down....eh?

Thanks for the info guys, I have a bit of thinking to do. The reason I really want the 777 HD is because I will be running on the heavy side. Me and my wife on the bike plus a sidecar with our 80lb dog. I do like the idea of dark siding with a run flat especially since I won't be leaning the bike with the sidecar attached.

Not exactly. When bridging a bad section the voltmeter acts as a bypass or detour. The worse the connection or the higher the load placed on the circuit the higher the reading because more voltage is taking the detour. What you want to see is no volts at all in this type of test. Say you touch one test lead to the Batt post and one lead to the clamp or terminal on that post. With the circuit powered or loaded up and you see no voltage you know you have a perfect connection at the battery terminal. If there is a reading you have a bad connection and the higher the reading the worse the connection. Keep in mind the bigger the load on the circuit the higher the reading as well and the easier to find the bad connection. I sometimes add an old head lamp to the circuit to make this test more effective. An old fashioned test light used in place of the voltmeter will work to. No light circuit is good. Any light at all circuit is not good and the worse it is the brighter the light. Here again you would have to clean or repair the bad connection or faulty wire.

I have one of these and it fits in the side bag of my 89 VR. Never a gas smell and it sits in the bag in the sun all day long. I only carry it on trips and do not use it for around town travel. I have never had to use it for myself, but I have used it for other riders. It's pricey, but very heavy plastic and worth the cost. Jim

well as of fifteen min ago I sold my bike. I could get on it but there was no way I could get back off except fall off. Sad day for me but never going to get better. I will pop in still just not riding anymore.
