You are the bomb! I check most of the local shops and they're on crack or something, saying they could order it in 3-5 days. One shop tried to charge me $80! Anyway, I kept at it and finally found a Yurasu at NAPA for $55. They're even gonna order it from another store and I can pick it up at 7am wh...

Wow! Thanks Jonnythan! I kept looking at that darn battery when I had it in my shopping cart and knew it was the wrong one. Have you had any problems with your bike other than battery? Mine only has 11,000 miles on it and seems to be in relatively good condition. Once I get the battery and change ou...

Help! Need Battery Advice

Good morning all! I'd love any advice y'all may have regarding batteries. I have a 1987 Yamaha Virago XV 535TC. The spec page says I need a 12 V/12 A/h. Went to Wal-mart last night to buy one and they sell something called ES 12 but it had some other alphabets (N E or something like that). Where can...

Thanks KarateChick and thank you all for making me feel welcome and giving me such great, USEFUL advice. I'm so glad I found this website! :lol: Do any of you belong to motorcyle clubs? I was considering joining one. How long should I wait? Since I know dues and such have to be paid, it it expensive?

Hi guys! Sorry to jump in, but while reading I remembered that I'd seen some body armor at a convention this past year that had some type of air bag impact thingy. I was wondering if that's something he might speaking of. I can probably find the info on it if ya want.

I do recommend you get a paging alarm system like Scorpio sells, and keep the pager in your room at night :) I have the same dilemma. I'm renting in a townhouse community and we have a fairly large lot. I do have my own assigned space in front of my place and right now, my bike is in the visitor pa...

You're right, Loonette, and I apologize to all the hip huggers who fit in that category. It took me a minute to be able to afford my own bike also. It can be an expensive hobby as I am beginning to discover. When I look at other ladies riding their own bikes, it's always with admiration and respect,...

I'm pretty much mechanically inclined, probably since I was an only girl with two older brothers. I had a mechanic do most of the work for my new (used) bike, but I'm gonna take a stab at installing the new ignition switch and I may try to clean out the gas tank myself. Since I like to wear my nails...
