Bike loses all power

OTB you might just be right. I noticed the other night while driving home in the country (no city lights) my lights kind of flickered some. I kind of blew it off but I recognized it from either a bad battery or bad Rectifier/Regulator. I replaced a bad R/R a year ago with a used GSXR750/600 RR that a lot of other F3 owners have done.

How do you do a "load test"? Is that something Batteries Plus can take care of or Autozone?

Yes, Batteries Plus and Autozone can do a load test. Alternatively, you could pull your panties up, and act like a man. Sorry Smittie, you know I love you.

Put your meter on the battery terms. Check the reading. Crank the bike over, and watch the meter. If it drops more than 3 volts, your shit's fucked up.
