Well after checking switches and relays numerous times, my son and I decided to go after the pick up coil. What a project, and now that I have that out I might as well replace the stator now that I'm in there. 13 years old, 66,000 miles, for a couple hundred bucks I would hate to have to go through this again. Definitely a winter project, loosing a lot of riding time. Thanks again for all the suggestions. I'll let you know how it works out, waiting on parts.
