Uhhh, sounds like the battery cable may be loose or maybe a bad horn? Piece of grass stuck in the canutter valve?

Nice picture. Hope it's not your bike

That's what happens when you forget to lube the muffler bearings.

Muffler bearings!

That's awesome funny, I've never heard of muffler bearings!

What kind of lube do they need?

Why, muffler bearing lube, of course. It's kind of watery, though, and easily confused with blinker fluid.

Oh man, I have mixed up my blinker and brake fluids before. That ruins the whole day. Blinker fluid is way more hydroscopic. Last time I bled my clutch cable, it took me forever too. Why was that? If you really want good brake, just use compressed air to fill your master cylinder and brake lines. It works much better than DOT 4. Ask me how I know.

I keep my blinker fluid and muffler bearing lube next to the bottle stretcher in the shop. But as long as the alternator is full and doesn't leak, it's all good.
