The bike really doesn't have any commuting ability because I only have 5 miles to work, so that argument is out the window. But that does bring up a good point, with such a short ride, can this be good for the bike if I go straight to work? On the other hand I get spring fever when ever it gets...

Thanks allot, many things were brought up that I never thought of. I would love to keep the bike but I should also weigh all of the options first.

Hey guy's, figure I would ask the experts. I am thinking very hard about selling my 05 abs equipped bike with about ten thousand miles. It has bar risers, givi trunk, cee Baileys windshield plus stock, audiovox cruise, wild bill brackets, new dual compound tires with about one thousand miles on...

well I checked the possible switch idea and the switch works great. Open when decompressed and closed when compressed. The rear brake is not on unless I compress the brakes. This may seem like a dumb question is there and where is the switch for the foot brake?

super I will look into the possible sticking break switch idea.

Hey guys, last topic I started you helped very much and I appreciate it. Got the bike put together and it ran very good. Let me recap. I wanted to rerun some messy wiring and make some preriding maintenance. In doing so I blew up the rectifier and learned my lesson. So I got a new one from the...

so sorry to hear about the loss, our prayers are with his family and friends.

thank god no harm was done. I live in the snow and ice region and I am always on the lookout for ice, salt and sand. The only remedy for this is to be patient and safe about riding. We all love to do it but lets be safe about it. Your right, count your blessings only your knee is sore.

hey guys, checked everything back out before I put the new rectifier on and everything checked out fine. Fired her up and she purred like a kitten. Cruise control worked just fine also. All in all thanks for the help, hopefully I won't need it for something like this ever again. Thanks again...

I lucked out, the previous owner hooked up with the yes extended warranty and the local dealership is hooking me up with another one. I think this is possible only by the graces of god.

Live and learn right. Gotta start somewhere. I know it was the rectifier because the silicone base on the back now has a hole in it. :glare: Yes, it was a car charger and there was no battery in it. The polarity was correct though. Yes I reconnected the battery and The bike runs fine. I'll...

damn you guys are right, after reading my post I would give shit to. Sorry. I have talked to numerous people and many of them say I smoked the rectifier because I did't have the battery hooked up or in the bike. The battery acts as a filter to knock the spiked a/c waves down before they go into...

I knoweverybody means well, but are we here to talk about the one thing we love or are we going to complain about spelling!

How did I know some smart ass coment would come out of this! Thanks for the info. Do you think the battery charger fried it or the wireing job?

Hell yeah I'm havin a bad day. I have been workin on my gen 1 lately and having big issues. The origonal owner installed a audiovox cc and did a hack job with mounting and running the wires wherever he pleased. I hated looking at it so this spring I took it upon myself to redo it. I reran the...

I was wondering if I could use 20w/50 oil in my gen 1.

thanks guys, not new to this stuff but I am interested in what riders are using in everyday life. I will check out the westco batteries. thanks allot

Hey, does anyone recomend a battery other than the stocker for my gen1 or should I stick with the original? Thanks

Thanks I'll keep my eyes peeled.

thanks guys I guess I'll have to look in goodwill for them :exhappysmiley:
