    I own one also. For anyone without a garage it's a great alternative.

    I'm so sorry for your loss. We will keep you and your family in our prayers.

    Thanks for the confirmation. Picked up the socket and got the tires off with no issues.

    I'm trying to find out the socket size needed for the rear wheel axle nut on a 2nd gen. In the tech library I read a thread on removing the rear wheel that stated the size was 1 1/6 inch. Is this correct? With the front axle socket being a metric size (22mm) it seems the rear would be metric too. Just wanted to confirm before I go out and purchase the socket.

    Prayers and healing karma on the way.

    My shock with 55,000 miles on it started leaving very small puddles last week so I went ahead and ordered the Works shock from worksperformance.com. They asked if I was a member of an online forum, I said yes and they said they would take ten percent off of the $690. I'm not sure if they have always offered this discount but it's a pretty big savings. The build time I was told is 3 to 4 weeks.

    Well it was the battery after all. Replaced it with a Magna Power battery from Advance Auto. Next winter I'll be sure to take it inside. Thanks again for the help.

    Thanks for the quick answers! I figured it was going to be the battery but just thought I'd check to see if maybe there was a common issue that I was missing. I'll definitely take the battery indoors next winter. I'll have the battery checked tomorrow after work. I believe it is an Everstart battery. I'm not sure how long the warranty was for on it, but it's been a bit over a year. I know they are cheap batteries. Thanks again.

    Some background first. I have a 99 Venture. Early last year I was having charging issues and ended up putting in a new stator (buckeye), new stock rectifier, and new battery. Had no issue the rest of the year. The bike was stored under a porch this winter, so it was exposed to New England cold all winter. I didn't have a way to hook up my battery tender so the battery did unfortunately drain dead. I charged it with my trickle charger until it was full a few weeks ago. I've only ridden the bike half a dozen times this year. The problem I'm having has happened to me twice now within the past few weeks, and it happened after the bike sat for 4 or 5 days. When I turn the igition into the on position I can see my trip odometer and it is where it last was and the clock is set correct. When I start the bike it seems the electricity is lost to the dash and my clock and trip odometer reset. I assume my stations all reset too. Did a voltage test. Bike off - 12.6 Ignition on - still roughly 12.6 While starting - drops to 9.7 With throttle - 13.8 So it appears to me that maybe I have a dead cell. I'm just not positive if that voltage drop is too much while starting the bike. My connections at the battery seem good. Is there something else I should check or should I just go get a new battery?
