It'll start like that for about 2-3 days then i'll need to charge the battery again.

I just fixed my buds machine...same exact issue. My research pointed towards the rectifier. Sure enough 2 wires were unplugged from it. I'd check that first, make sure all wires are plugged in and make good contact...make sure no wires are broken, etc. If you happen to need a rectifier...cheapest place I found is "Ricks motorsports electrics".

It's part #35 under the "electrical/tailight" schematic.

You'll need to pull the front rack and front cover...it's down and to the right under the cover.

I just found a 2 hole plug hanging off the left headlight wire, i unwrapped the electrical tape and there was a red and a brown wire not plugged into anything. do these need to be plugged into the end piece hanging by the headlight wire?
