Re: R80ST Electrical Problem--please help

So now we are threatened here on Eleuthera by Hurricane/Tropical Storm Sandy so I'm wondering if perhaps the Beemer Gods are punishing me for not tracing the electrical problem on the ST while in Rhode Island. Just a thought, and certainly open to discussion...

I have a 1983 R80ST in very good condition. It just moved from Atlanta to Rhode Island...along with me...courtesy of United Van Lines. They removed the cowling and disconnected the battery.
