I'm going down the highway on my 99 rt and the battery light comes on. The bike is still running, so I forge ahead in the hopes that it will keep running on the altenator if thebattery is going south and not stop since the battery will not restart it. About an hour later, sputters and the bike dies. After about half an hour, it restarts, the battery light is still on, but I manage to coast to a motel when it stops again after half a mile. I take the fairing off, tighten the battery cables, I show over 12 volts on a meter I have with me. I think this tells me the alt is still good and the battery is still good. Why is the battery light still on and it won't run?
