I was riding home the other night on a back road when the headlight went out. I tried firing the high beam without any luck. Knowing I was nearing a curve in the dark, I decided to stop. When I pulled in the clutch, Luci shut off. The battery is only a few weeks old. I assumed when she wouldn't start then that it was becasue the nearly 5 year old battery had finally given up. It turns out that Luci wasn't charging the battery.
It didn't take long to find out why Luci stopped charging. What caused the meltdown may not be as simple.
