[QUOTE="Charlie Hoss, post: 379047, member: 875"] I have heard stories, and once experienced as well, a bad ground can cause electricity to follow "other" paths, such as thru turn signals to ground. Check all connections of major ground wires. My experience was on a 1980 Yam XS1100, had relocated rear turn signals to allow for soft luggage, was on vaca in Va Beach. Bike turned over but wouldn't start. I worked on it for 2 full days, finally trucked it to a Yammy dealer, they worked on it most of the day. When I casually mentioned that turn indicators would sometimes light up slightly when trying to start....BINGO. He immediately wired in a couple more grounds and it started right up. Hope this helps.
