	Update: the battery (charging system) is putting out 13.7 off
idle. The battery was reading 13.4. The starter is making more
noise then ever. Did I mention when I jumped the bike, I jumped
the bike to the starter? If I told you the last two weeks I've
had with this bike .... <sigh>

        I'm having a REAL bad week. Drove to Daytona with my new
gell
Westco battery. Come to find my charging system was the problem.
My buddy with a K bike had jumper cables (made with an electric
cord <grin>) and once the bike was jumped, as is well. But the
bike has to be jumped every time it is shut off .
        Well I put another alternator that I had of a salvage
bike. Put
the bike on a 1 amp charger ... bike still faults the ABS. Now I
have it on a 2 amp, it won't be on 2 amps long. Did I mention my
starter makes funny noises since this fiasco? What is going on!?
