Welcome. Try Primumm Insurance, if available in Ontario. Less than half of what other carriers in the Maritimes charge for a Max - that is, the ones that don't have it on their black list of untouchable bikes.
Cheers!
 
Look at the stickies for electrical issues. You probably have dirty, corroded connectors and bad grounds, maybe a weak battery, and poor primary connections. Disconnect them, clean shiny-bright, re-connect them. Remove and inspect your rectifier/regulator, I bet it's overheated & corroded at the connectors, look for corroded-through (or nearly c-t!) wires from the R/R. Use contact cleaner on the switches. A strong battery helps immensely.
