Welcome! Enjoy your Shadow

I'd start by checking the wiring but it's most likely the relay - how old is this bike?

In replacing any cable -here's a useful trick. DO NOT just loosen the connectors and yank the cable out! Take the new cable -attach it to an old cable end (tape it end to end and make sure it's secure) the pull form that end. This way -you get the right cable length -cut n connect. The new cable...

That is a pain in the *** job. If the bolt head is clen off -it involves drilling and extracting the bolt. Assuming it not dead-on seized -which adds to the pita factor. I'd take it to a shop.

For home occasional use the PA product is ok - if I was working in a shop as a pro, I'd use Snap On or Grey. Buy it, check the specs, then use it. If you're not happry -return it - no problems.

You can park at meters for free - no not on sidewalks (unless you're a scooter). Green P and private parking lots -yes. Dont leave anything you can't part with - a friend of mine left his lid in an unlocked saddlebag, and surprise -it got stolen.

The prestorage WD 40 trick will usually prevent this problem -great advice. I usually do a check on all the connectors and give them a WD 40 shot before I reassemble my bike in the early sping.

It's still good -ask yourself this question if you feel like driving yourself crazy - how long did the oil sit on a shelf? In a box? Or in a warehouse? ok,ok -just screwing with you -it's good, use it. :p

As well, when I have a problem I can't fix -I do take it to Ted....so I don't know what to tell you.

In this instance you have to work form the inside out. Replacing parts here and there may not fix the problem. Start from the shaft -make sure it's true then work to the forks - have you ever banged the front end -not necessarily a hard collision -but has ever been a front end incident? . Then...

It happened at my work recently - on Murray St behind Mt Sinai and PMH. Lots of bike s in the back in the summer. A car tipped over a Ninja into a Ducati. Luckily the Duke held both bikes up but the driver just took off. I was too far to see the plates on the car but I was sooooo mad. And...

I have a 08 Shadow 750DC and when I took it out a while ago it was kind of squirrely. I don't get to ride it that often but the bike was backfiring some fierce, it was losing power on acceleration and it would even cut out on idle. So like a meat head I got carried away. Tank off -cleaned the...

I'm in the market for a Ural with the sidecar -low mileage preferred. I have a working budget of about 8-9000. I'd like the bike certified and with a UVIP. If anyone has one kicking arond let me know.

I'd be up for that. When and where?

I do all the work myself -as far as carb re-jetting on an ACE we really need to talk about that one....... If you need any help I'd be glad to point you to dealers and places you can get aftermarket stuff for. PM me for any questions.

I've had my Shadow now for a few years and I've gotten carried away.lol. It pretty much has every chrome piece you can screw on, bolt on or stick on to it. The two things it doesn't have is a windshield and saddle bags. It's got -Vance and Hines longshots with viper tips, front brake chrome...

For detailing and storage over the winter -try Crazy Chrome up in Woodbridge.
