Yup, maybe 90% of all motorcycle problems have to do
with bad/old/rusty wiring and/or electrical components.
$30 for a "new" electrical system is a steal and well worth it.
The ls650 is a great bike and there are plenty of nearly 30 year
old savages on the road today running with no issues at all.
* And about myself I'm kinda close to spangdahlem but I'm not
with the military, and yes, it's actually pretty nice here, kinda
looks like wisconsin and/or pennsylvania, take a look at this
video I recently posted over at the cafe section and, good luck
with that wiring!
