Turns out, what I think is the DC rectifier (responsible for charging the battery) was unplugged. When I was looking for the CDI wiring, I may have unplugged the DC rectifier, and not have seated the plug back in properly, and it may have fallen out during the ride, allowing me to ride until the 2.5Ah battery fell below 10V.
The cable for the seat lock was unplugged; and I was unable to access the compartment under the seat, as the key or pulling the cable did not unlock the seat lock. So I grabbed the middle of the seat, and pulled it upwards, bending the seat into a C-shape, until the front lip slid off the front bracket. Once the front side of the seat came loose, I rotated the seat about 90 degrees, to get the locking mechanism to open up. I suppose if you ever want to get in the seat compartment without key, and find that pulling the cable behind the fairings doesn't work, you could apply the same trick. No guarantees if the plastic will hold, but mine did. Other than that, the bike itself has now close to 2.8K miles on it, and runs great! |
