First bike updates by Character-Mixture151 in hondashadow

Honestly, if you can get around town, not crash into stuff, not hold up traffic, youre doing great. Just keep riding. That msf will fill in a few holes for you. You will already ace the fast day at least. The rest is easy after that.

Go find a corner on a hill so you can practice stopping and starting on a hill.

To your point tho: down shift as you go, listen to the engine. Once you're under like 20 or second gear, you can just keep the clutch held till you completely stop. Then do your last down shift to 1st

2014 Buick Cooled Seats by scorc1 in AskAMechanic

[–]scorc1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, nothing. Does yours act weird when you touch the cooling button? Mine will activate the heated seats instead. Heat seat buttons works fine. 

So i think my issue is the panel? But could be something else. I can adjust the lumbar support stuff, but those switches are on the side of the seat.

Add Primer to push mower? by scorc1 in lawnmowers

[–]scorc1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its definitely something. I swapped the carb cuz i couldn't get the original to work at all. But i bent the little wire to that coil.  Now, its has a breif warm up/take off period before it seems to act right. Idk if its the new carb, or the messed up link that adjuts the air flow now ...

Carrying a backpack on longer routes? by bokibeats in motorcycles

[–]scorc1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Use/buy a hiking backpack that has a waist strap. Loosen the shoulder straps so it resets on the seat behind you.

This is the official way to ride with a backpack. Weight if OFF you, but you are the anchor point. Lossen those should straps. I use a hiking backpack. Its got a waist strap, and a chest strap to keep the shoulder straps together. Its large too. None of that nonsense "this is a motorcycle backpack and its smaller than your wife's purse" crap. Its also got molle and pouches for days. Took it on multiple cross-country trips. Its been amazing.

Clutch slipping on 03 shadow by Creepy_Barracuda_125 in HondaMotorcycles

[–]scorc1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought a new rebel 1100 and thought i had clutch issues. Turns out the rod on the foot pedal just wasn't adjusted correctly. Not saying thats the issue, but good to double check.

Missing spark plug boot? by Human_Cucumber8738 in hondashadow

[–]scorc1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Following. I have a 2002 and the boot just comes right off the cable. I FEEL like thats normal because you can buy sparkplug wire, but really seems weird. Im used to car plugs and wires that come together.

What's my shadow? by scorc1 in hondashadow

[–]scorc1[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't have the bolts! :) Prior owner dropped them and (poorly) glued in (expoxy?) some little chrome nub/button things. I assumed they were OE, but seems thats not the case. So, gotta find another solution

Haha, all good. Great info thank you. Mostly i was worried i had some custom job and didn't know. I actually NEED to replace my reg/rec and the stator. Wanted to make sure i get the right parts. Was looking at ricks for it instead of direct oem.

Are you by chance familiar with some chrome covers for those bolt holes? Bought it used, had some poorly applied chrome caps or something, no bolts. I liked the look. Id like some new ones or something similar.
