My wife and I were going to ride to Arthur, IL and eat at an Amish restaurant, then go over and do some riding in Indiana. We only got about forty miles and got the low voltage screen and a bunch of assorted warnings that go along with no juice in the battery.
Long story short, we got a new battery and all appeared good. After about another forty five miles with the new battery, the same thing! Got towed to dealer and they said the stator had went to ground.
Due to a foul up on their end they said that the part didn't get ordered when it was supposed to and that caused a two week delay. Got new stator installed, then they said it had wiped out the voltage regulator, as well. Another part to order and wait on. I'm calling them tomorrow to see if it is in. I called last week to make sure they got the part ordered after the last foul up and they assured me that it got ordered.
This started on July 8th and it's now officially August 1. The bright side is it should all be covered by the BEST warranty. The down side is we missed out on two fund raising rides we were going to do and missed out on over three weeks of riding. I'm going to see if they will wave the tow fee to make up for their foul up on ordering parts! Ought to hit them up for the deductible, as well!

I miss some things about Illinois........but not very many.

In a few years or so we hope to be in a position to miss a few things as well!
We lived in Arizona in the eighties and I was talking to a guy at work. He asked where I was from and I told him Illinois. He shook his head and said, "Yep, that's a good place to be FROM" !

I moved from from the Charleston, IL area 22 years ago to live in surprise, AZ. I visit IL several times a year but agree, it is a good place to be from.
Hope you get your ryde fixed soon.

After a few rounds of complete discharge, even your Yuasa is probably somewhat damaged.
If it is over 4 years old, you probably should replace it........now.

Figured that's it new battery needed, one last try...hooked it up to my charger for a few hours and ...bam.!! Fired right up. Checked charging and alls good and we ryde on. Yuasa is a great battery used them in all my bikes... hope it will be only a connection problem or may be the rectifier... 
6 years is darn good for San Diego Gene. Changing mine out today after only 3 years. Pretty normal for everything around here. The heat kills batteries.
(Would expect you to save Camille and I a seat at the RR rally again this year.  )
