[QUOTE="S76, post: 1302159, member: 1349"] IT'S ALIVE !!!!!! Found the problem. It was, and is, embarrassing. I don't think I have ridden this bike 500 miles in the last 3 yrs. due to involvement with my sons race car and life in general. And I have not performed any maintenance either in that time frame except oil. So this morning I tore it all apart consuming large amounts of basement floor space for all the plastic etc. Then I spotted it. There is a aluminum cross brace on the frame that holds the back of the gas tank. When I installed the PC III years ago I used one of those attach bolts for the PC III ground wire. Well apparently the last time I had things apart I only hand tightened those bolts and now 3 yrs later it loosened up enough to make the ground connection intermittent. Tightened it up and reassembled everything and rode 40 miles. PERFECT! Thanks to all for your input and ideas.It is nice to know that you have some backup and unbiased thoughts when facing these type of problems that seem overwhelming. The forum is awesome. Thanks Bob [/QUOTE]
