Wow, I thought it was as easy as... If the bike dies when you remove the battery, then the stator is bad. I didn't know there were 85234879237428374823 steps before you can declare the stator as being bad. Thanks for the info. I'll print this out and try to troubleshoot it. What kind of price do stators run?
Well, I took my old battery from my WRX and connected it to the bike. When the bike started, I disconnected the WRX battery. As soon as I did, it died. I did this 2 more times to make sure.
Does anyone know where I can find them at a cheap price? (Dayton area) My battery is brand new, but is dead as a doornail, because I let it sit for a few weeks (over the winter) without starting it.
Instead of welfare, why not "hire" these people to do stuff... Like clean government buildings, pick up trash along side the interstate and roadways, and stuff that the government is supposed to do, but never hires anyone to do.
