    Walmart battery

    Another point is if you, or know someone, are going to Buffalo/Niagara Falls NY, then p/u a battery at Walmart there. It will be half the cost of one here. I paid $40 for my size14 battery there compared to $87 here.

    Very bad luck today -_- Need help - Etobicoke

    If you can wire the fan directly to the battery to test it and it turns on, then you probably have a bad thermal sending unit. I have a 82 Yamaha Vision that did the same thing. I just wired in a switch directly to the fan, with a relay in between, and whenever I am around 3/4 to the red I...

    For those 35+: Did you start riding b/c of a midlife crisis?

    I got my license @ 40 back in 2008. And I actually got it for free, because I won a contest from Q107, as they gave away about 10 Gearing Up courses at Humber College. I got my bike the same year. My wife and mother-in-law still think I am nuts to be riding so late in life. But my answer to...
