    Well -- I had a fun day yesterday...

    I pulled into a parking garage and almost got taken out by an SUV that was leaving, but that's not why I'm posting...

    So, I went to the bank, and when I came out, the bike wouldn't start (I had to Jump-start it).

    I then made it to a 7-11 1000ft from my apartment complex, filled up the tank, and the battery had died again.

    I managed to jump start it again, and I tried to leave, and the bike stalled in 1st, and I had to, once again, jump start it.

    I tried to let it idle with the choke on and it idled at like 4500RPM!

    I made it home and checked the voltage at the battery while the bike was at about 3k RPM, and it never made it above 13v (at idle, it's around 12.3).

    I haven't done the checks on the yellow wires going to the R/R, but I thought I would get you guys' input first.

    FYI: the battery is brand-new.

    I'm currently on I-70 in the middle of nowhere (no, I'm not riding and typing on the laptop...), so I can't check anything until Sunday anyway.

    Woops, I forgot to mention that I have HID's...

    Thanks in advance!
