[QUOTE="Cyclepath, post: 1436534, member: 78971"] Hey, I owned a Gen1 for about 8 years, and rain or shine, she always started (with same battery over >75K miles too). However, when I was a much younger fool riding an RD400, I was an unlucky victim of what turned out to be a bad rectifier. Don't know about your Gen1 (I now have a Gen3), so perhaps it would now be a good idea to check output of your stator, and then the rectifier / regulator assembly (with no loads, then reconnected to normal loads). Have you checked to also to confirm the real current drawn in the simple circuit you're using to power that Zumo GPS unit? Wonder if there could be a pinched wire or something acting like a low resistance return to the chassis and depleting your new battery's charge? Good luck! [/QUOTE]
