No Ride Today

I went to fire up the DR350 and nothing, dead. After 2-3 hours of troubleshooting, I finally found a wire that had shorted out and killed what was left of the battery. The battery is 4 years old and just could not handle it. I spliced another wire in and got a new battery and viola, it fired right up. So instead of riding I ended up just going through the entire bike and got it ready for the next ride. Now I'm sure it is all ready to go, new plug, fresh oil, new oil filter, lubed the cables, and cleaned air filter. Now I just have to find a day to go and ride, soon I hope, maybe tomorrow, who knows.
