I ended up putting a new battery on anyway since I'm heading the the GA rally tomorrow. I was able to start the bike in my garage Tuesday night but didn't go out because it was late and storming (thunder, lightning, wind and chucking it down with rain, the works). Tried to start her up early Wed afternoon but she wouldn't turn over. That could have been partly due to the old gas in the tank since I haven't ridden in a few months. I think the only reason I was able to start her up on Tuesday night was because I had just taken the battery off the trickle charger (was getting 12.68V without the bike running). I had a few issues with getting the bike to start the last time I rode so I wasn't sure if it was the battery or the pulsating (probably a little bit of both). She started after I put the new battery in and some new gas (with a little SeaFoam to clean out any buildup). Took a short ride as the sun was going down and did not notice any pulsating after it got dark. I agree with the solid connections and I only crimped the connectors on since I'm heading out in the morning but maybe I can convince Chy to help me do a little soldering since my skills with that need a little work. Thanks for confirming the stator wiring harness configuration, all the wires were the same color so I kinda figured that it might not matter but didn't want to take any chances.
