I usually do my own work but I picked up a bike for my son who turned 16 on 8/1 and it was running rough and didn't have time to tinker with it, So I sent it to them for repair. After a week got it home and it wouldn't idle, So I sent it back and it's been over a week and they still haven't finished it and everytime I call I am told: " We will call when it is finished" and I already paid over $740.00 for the first visit which was for the same thing. In the mjeantime my son is going stir crazy wanting to ride and it is still there!!!! GRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!! LOL.  less

    Electrical Problems

It turned over but wouldn't start. On the third try smoke started pouring out of the left side cover and after taking off cover found negative battery terminal melted but not any wires. I have to order some gaskets so I can remove starter and check and put back together. The manual says to rem ove starter gears before removing starter. I was looking over the electrical system in manual and it mentions a clutch diode in starting circut and was thinking maybe if diode went bad it could send voltage to ground and short. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks JIM  less

    Update I brought it home finally and it was serviced by their senior tech. Turns out PO put in a jet kit with a stock exhaust and the newer tech was trying to adjust a/f screws to stock, hence rough idle and stalling. Going to find a set of stock carbs and rebuild them myself. Thanks for all of the replies. JIM

    Thanks for the replies. My Ride is a 1992 VT1100C Shadow. I am in the process of checking the wiring and relocating my rear directionals to put new saddlebags on.I never used a power wash on it only hand wash and wax.
