Your a better man than I am Ten. I have the same problems with my SWMBO but when we have somewhere to go she drives me crazy! Get your **** out of bed get ready and lets move out already![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img] But even thought it drives me nuts I still end up on the puter just like you [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Thinking about it larry, as much as that thing sits, it wouldn't hurt to have a battery switch on it to disconnect the battery. The electronic Rectifier/Regulator have a small current draw when not running and will make your battery go flat, the switch will prevent this and if you mount it hidden somewhere it is an anti-theft device and you probably wouldn't need the flow charger either. Harbor Freight has a slick little one (I bought 5 for the quads, the boats and a spare) that will work and they are on sale now.

I turned the key on, turned the lights on, hit the starter switch and the lights went dead, no start, turned the key off then back on, no lights, battery has no juice. That's all I've done to it, haven't bought anything yet, haven't tried to jump it either.

Sounds more like a dirty or loose connection at the battery. Did you check the battery voltage with a meter?

Nice post bear. I haven't had any problems yet, I ride both of mine at least once a week but I like that idea. I think I will pick up a few!
