i questioned the service guy on the everything looked and he said fine and replied that is a logical question. i tell you i really thought it would do some damage, but have had all the aforementioned parts out and all is good.

Glad that didn't happened to you. I was unlucky enough that the starter engaged while riding. Locked up the primary, which slammed the auto-tensioner to pieces.

Not even going to touch that one!

And an 11 y/o bike w/ only 5500 miles on it? It's obvious that it's failing from lack of use!

Seriously, sounds like the switch. Change that before it costs you a lot more.
