It's 2 AA batteries

Here's the one I eventually bought ... http://www.canadiantire.ca/AST/browse/4/Auto/AutoTools/MultiTesters/PRD~0251080P/Autoranging+Multimeter.jsp?locale=en

if you have 3 at 150 and one at 140 (10 diff) ... you don't have a problem. From my old days of wrenching, I think we used a 25% factor so... 3 @ 150 1 @ .75 * 150 = 113 equates to a possible problem. now, this was when I worked on cars (V8 or straight 6) ... a 4 cyl might be a different % factor.

Looking at buying a multimeter for some simple use on the bike, etc. What do y'all think about this one? http://www.canadiantire.ca/AST/browse/4/Auto/AutoTools/MultiTesters/PRD~0251060P/MotoMaster+Digital+Multimeter.jsp?locale=en or maybe this one... http://www.canadiantire.ca/AST/browse/4/Auto/AutoTools/MultiTesters/PRD~0251031P/Digital+Multimeter.jsp?locale=en

sumbody around here will have them ... I just have to find them.

Good idea!

Ride it like you stole it...

Isn't it interesting that all the replys are from 1st genners ... Just razzin ya guys but thanks a bunch for the feedback.

This might change your mind ... http://www.buzzfeed.com/daves4/people-who-are-having-a-worse-day-than-you

ya... gonna try and find me some of those ball studs this weekend. I got one broken tab ... not bad for a 10yr old scoot I guess (seein as I broke it ).

I knew of that option and thanks for specifying the size to use coz I was wondering about that. I'm hoping that I can find such an animal somewhere local; however, when I read about using those (like you, a couple years ago) ... I've been keeping an "eye out" for them but have not seen any anywhere although I haven't been dilligent while looking.

Sounds simple enuf but ... how do you get the mold off the tab when it is wrapped around the indent (as in the att'd pic)? [ATTACH]73011[/ATTACH]

From what material and what method do you use to make a mold to make a replacement tab ... those tabs that, for example, hold the side covers on on a 1st gen.?? I'm thinking a mold where you'd pour the Plastex into and then once hardened, the mold could be either simply removed (such as a 2-piece mold) or just broken off. Pics and instructions would be great... do we already have this somewhere???

Ain't that the truth! Maybe you need to be driving it more...

Mine won't buy anything unless it's on sale ... LOL (hmmmm isn't everything "on sale")

I know it says Honda but should probably work on other bikes. http://www.addonaccessories.net/shop_details.asp?cat=%2DGL1800+%2A%2ANew%2A%2A&prod=%2A%2ANEW%2A+SIDE+COVER+REPAIR+STUDS+2011

:Laugh:

Thanks y'all for the well wishes for Nina.

She already had an appointment with her doc the following day so got herself checked out while there. By Sunday she was doing fine.

I thought we did this "best christmas" before (not necessarily as a contest) .... well, if we did, don't go lookin back on what I said last time coz it might not be the same as this time... Anyhoo .... I count each Christmas since meeting and marrying Nina and joining our kids together as a "family unit" as the most memorable. Actually, I can narrow that down a bit ... the last Christmas when Nina's mom was with us ... (RIP mom). Everyone was here at the house for Christmas day dinner. Unfortunately, Nina's mom is no longer with us and this year one of the girls and her b/f are gone to the land of OZ .... this year might not be quite so "memorable".
