A friend is suffering from the battery going from full charge to out of charge in a 60-70 mile ride the 77 connector looks a little bit melted just very little, could this be the problem?

Thanks.

Yes. The 77 connector is what connects the VR to the battery. If the connector has melted, that means the pins are not making contact, and you no longer have a connection. No connection means the VR can't keep the battery supplied, then eventually the battery depletes itself.

Replace the connector

You can buy a repair kit from the dealer or just connect the wires directly with suitable crimp-style electrical connections.

There are many old threads (especially in Big, Bad & Dirty) about how to repair.
