Bike only runs w/ Jumper Cables

Also, make sure you check your chasis ground bolt. If it is even a little loose, your cable will wiggle and lose ground. Bike will do absolutely nothing one day (or minute), and be fine the next. It can cause you headaches. People (including myself) often overlook that. Hopefully it's something cheap and easy like that for you. Just my $.02

I routinely spray aluminum connections with WD40. I found it helps with keeping white oxidation from forming at aluminum to aluminim connections. The oxidation can cause you to lose ground. I use it on copper and mixed connections too. Under the right conditions, and we all live with different atmospheric conditons, the rate of oxidation over winter would be different depending on where you live. One guy gets less corrosion than someone living in wetter conditions (lets say). This is a good thread.
