Went into town about 25 miles to do an estimate for some work. Got back on to crank....nada...nothing. No lights, no horn... checked fuses- all good. Tried to roll start down big hill....nothing. My mechanic come out, luckily he was nearby in town picking up parts from motorcycle store.
He said battery was dead. It had not given me trouble all day- no dragging- it was perfect. I DID run my gps all day and did not unplug during stops.
He went to store and bought some jumper cables. Jumped my bike off with his right away. My bike refused to run without it being jumped over to his running bike. No way I say- I got a new battery. We let it run for over 10 minutes, even took out headlight fuse. Still would not run without his bikes 12v assistance.
He ended up going to 3 stores looking for a battery. Finally got one and put back in. VROOOOM. What a guy! What a great mechanic! I was stuck over 4 hours. It was truly a sucky day!
