If I have charged the batter with a trickle charge overnight the bike will start right up, but when I turn it off and try and start it again it might turn once if I'm lucky but it will fail to start the bike. Though, we are able to get the bike started by push starting it so I can at least still ride the bike, it just appears that the stater is not charging the bike as I ride. We checked the battery a couple months after I bought it and the battery was good. We have also taken the connector off of the three yellow wires beside the batter off and we then reconnected the wires via soldering. That still hasn't seemed to solve the problem. Looking forward we are trying to avoid changing the stater because of the whole nuisance of pulling the entire engine out. So my question is, would it be best to convert to an alternator, or just change out the stater. Maybe someone has another idea about what might be wrong with the bike. I am open to any suggestions and am hoping that I can get the problem solved before riding season kicks into full gear out here in the Black Hills.Thanks Everybody!The new guy,Jeremy</blockquote>
