I check the obvious, fuses and Run switch. Nothing there. I check the

How old is the battery?

What are your i4C readings while you were riding? High 13s - 14.5VDC?

In addtion to the grounds and connectors (R/R and stator wire quick
connect), check around the 30A main fuse / starter relay. There may be some
corrossion / heating / melting going on there.

Good luck.

Thanks Mrydr, I didn't know the VFR '97 had a main fuse (my '97 Valkyrie
does behind the right panel under the seat) but I'll look for it. Thanks
for everyone's messages. I've also been searching the web as well.

The thing that confused me most is why did the dash lights come on when
I hit the starter button. That's weird.
