Re: That damned position light
You know, I did not even think of that. It makes sense though. I thought fuel injection solved all of the problems in the world!!! I guess not. There are devices out there that will disconnect a battery if it senses prolonged power loss, that will supossedly prevent a dead battery from leaving an accessory on. They are called "Battery Buddy" or some kind of crap! I know that they make them for cars, and probably for bikes too! I have never considered ever needing one, as I am careful with that parking lamp...while on the subject, I wonder if there is an easy way to make the hazzard lights flash with the key in the "off" position???? That parking lamp makes a pretty poor hazzard light in my opinion!

I had a flat battery on my ST a while back (the cable route to the
ignition switch block saga) and found that no matter how hard I tried I
couldn't push start it. After chatting with a few people it turned up
that the ST's EFI needs a couple of atmosphere's of fuel pressure before it
will operate. If you haven't got enough power to spin up the fuel pump
you ain't going nowhere.
