Glad to report the starting issues are gone. It was the battery. Lesson learned - don't let AGM type batteries discharge too far - they may not come back. The battery that went dead was installed 11/06. I'm so delighted I could...
I'd be out riding now if it wasn't 40 & raining.

As we're going to hit the road for the Smoky Mountains in 8 days, I was a might worried the problem may lay in the recently completed handlebar wires campaign. Phew!

FWIW - the contacts on the starter relay were pretty cheesy at 10,000 miles.
