    Third front baring gone is as many months

    Hey guys Just wanted to say that Ted's has made everything right under warrently as usual. Ted's has been and continues to be the only shop I recommend to people in the city. When I picked up the bike they were super helpful showing the bearing etc, but I was glad just to get on the bike and...

    Third front baring gone is as many months

    Just to be clear, I'm pretty sure Ted's is doing things right. Both Ted and the other mechanic (not sure of his name) put the barrings in, so I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the alignment being off and not improper installation.

    Third front baring gone is as many months

    1995 Honda Shadow Spirit Late May, on my way to Montreal, front barring gives out. After making some bad metal grinding noises for about 100 kms, the wheel actually started wobbling about 1 inch back and forth. Towed back to Toronto. Had Ted's replace the front baring end of May. All is good...

    Battery Suddenly Died :(

    Check the charging system with a multimeter. You should be getting 13.5 - 14.5 volts when reving, if not then something is wrong with your charging system.

    Waiting for part because of friggen CUPW

    So management just out of the blue decided to close shop? That's a little simplistic. They had to close the doors because they were losing money due low volume due to the rotating strikes. The union is completely clueless. There's this thing out now, perhaps they haven't heard of it, its...

    Waiting for part because of friggen CUPW

    So I thought I'd care less about the postal strike, but since I ordered an r/r online for my Shadow I now have a stake in this thing. What do you think I should do . . . . Got the r/r online for about $150 including shipping. Markham power sports wanted $280. Anyone know where I can get a...

    Charging system

    I have a shadow with some charging issues. First, the couplers for the three yellow wires coming from the regulator (I guess) were completely melted which completely drained the battery. I fixed this problem. I charged the battery and put it in. Using a volt meter I found 12.6 when the...

    Help: Bike died on highway, then came back to life

    I had an older bike that did something like this. Problem was the ignition switch. It was dirty and wasn't making a complete contact, so once in a while, while driving the bike would "shut down". Carmen

    Noise coming from front end, just had front barring replaced

    My bike is kinda lame in that it has no centre stand and so spinning the tire is not possible without some kinda jack. I lubed up the actual speeed unit where the cable connects the the wheels. It seemed to take care of the noise for a while. I figure the noise came back because I didn't put...

    Noise coming from front end, just had front barring replaced

    Checked and lubed speedo cable. Its still making a sound, kinda like a ting, ting, ting sound like hitting a steel drum every once in a while. Does seem to be linked to speed or breaking or anything.
