I have this odd hunch that if it is a wire, it is right at the base of the handlebars. But, when the bike is running, and if there was a problem there, wouldn't the bike quit?
Thanks for your help!

What I do is connect the ohm meter to the each end of the wire to be tested. Use the ohm scale. A wire will usually read around .3 ohms. While watching the meter, flex the wire back and forth at different positions along its length. Pay particular attention to bends in the harness.You will know the wire is bad when the reading spikes.
