Helped a buddy of mine move yesterday and he asked that I store his Shadow in my garage. He told me he never rides it and I was welcome to use it for back and forth to work. 50 mpg is a hell of allot better than the 15mpg of my Ram. :grin_nod:
The problem I have is I think the battery is dead, I jumped it to get to my place :mad: Also the speedo/instrument cluster is acting goofy (flashing blank, not reading mph,etc).
Is the cluster acting that way due to the battery, or is there a bigger issue?

Instrumentation requires battery power. If the battery is weak, gauges would be affected. Do you have a trickle charger?

I do, however, I would have thought that running it for ~an hour would have charged it a little. I saw no signs that the battery held any juice, I think it's dead.

If you replace the battery, this should help. I doubt seriously it's a problem with the stator. Motorcylces don't charge as well as an auto does.

Cool, I just hope there isn't a CPU issue :'(
