Answer 3

Dolphin:

Get a NEW battery asap.

Change oil, plugs, fuel filter. and get fresh gas.

If it does not start, spend $200 at your local bike shop.

If it cost more than $200 to fix, think twice.

Your prize pony is worth about $200.

Good luck.

Answer 4

You have this thing call "stator and rectifier) on your motorcycle.  The stator should be on the side of the engine and the rectifier is a little square box under the seat.

I would charge the battery full first before tackle to replace these stuffs.
