Ok I think I have figured out my problem but I figured I would post about it to see if anybody has some feed back. Last year my 85 250es started frying batteries, dead shorting them, would not even take a charge. At first I chalked it up to using a cheap battery. So I ran with out one for a couple of months with no problems. Finally I broke down and got a new battery from the local Honda dealer :( that hurt. I installed the new battery and life was good for about a month. It happened again fried the battery :mad: I brought the battery back to the dealer and was able to exchange it :D so before I installed the new battery I started troubleshooting to see if I could find the cause. Since the only time it does it is when I go to start the trike it has to be something in that system so I started with the starting solenoid and with no luck It claimed another battery :crazy: I heard that the rectifier could case this problem. Though I did not think this the problem because with no battery everything worked fine, but I swapped with a good one from another machine. Same results :rolleyes: so the only other option I can think of is the starter itself. I am currently waiting on the new starter I ordered and we shall see what happens.
